Keep the electricity and water on at Douglas's home in Reading

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $750. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. 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 winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Douglas's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Utility arrears: $410 • Reconnection and late fees: $200 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Douglas
