Keep the electricity and water on at Clara's home in Vancouver

Help Clara cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $650. 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 $120 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. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Clara's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $390 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Clara

  1. Small update. $505 so far, I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.

  2. Update from Vancouver: the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Clara?

      • Clara SantosOwnerAnswer

        Thank you. If you're in Vancouver I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

    • Victor P. Quizon

      take care, Clara. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 39 people at work. God bless.

      • Sylvie Baron

        So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
