Keep the electricity and water on at Eugene's home in Tallahassee

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Eugene received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $650 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Eugene called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $190 first, which isn't available. The household includes 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. Eugene is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $260 • Reconnection and late fees: $200 • Down payment on a payment plan: $190 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
