Help Théo with an overdue electricity bill before winter

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Théo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Théo called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Théo is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Théo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $95 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Justine
