Keep the electricity and water on at Helena's home in Stockholm
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Helena needs $600 before August.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden581 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $600. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 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. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Helena's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $225
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Stockholm
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Helena
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $280, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best, Helena. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Marrakesh

Stay strong, Helena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
stay strong, Helena. Your post was clear and honest.
