Keep the electricity and water on at Anthony's home in Chattanooga

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Anthony needs $750 before May.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $750. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $750 goes: • Gas arrears: $390 • Reconnection and late fees: $185 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Anthony
