Keep the electricity and water on at Dustin's home in Belfast
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Dustin needs $750 before October.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in June.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Dustin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Heating arrears: $470
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $215
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Update from Belfast: the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Best of luck, Dustin. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from León
Thinking of you, Dustin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Belfast
