Keep the electricity and water on at Alexander's home in San Francisco
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Alexander needs $700 before December.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $700. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $700 goes:
• Gas arrears: $440
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Ikeja.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Sending strength, Alexander. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Alexander. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Mangaluru
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
