Keep the electricity and water on at Daan's home in Haarlem

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 losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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 Daan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $145 With deep gratitude, Daan
