Keep the electricity and water on at Aaron's home in Syracuse

Help Aaron cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $950. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Aaron's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $950 goes: • Electricity arrears: $570 • Reconnection and late fees: $145 • Down payment on a payment plan: $235 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Aaron

Updates from Aaron

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($208 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
