Help Winnie with an overdue electricity bill before winter

Winnie is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Winnie received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Winnie 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 an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Winnie is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Winnie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $40 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Glad we found this place. - Kato
