Keep the electricity and water on at Jung-ho's home in Mapo

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Jung-ho needs $550 before August.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Jung-ho received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Jung-ho called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, 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. Jung-ho is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Jung-ho's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Heating arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $125 If you're reading this, thank you. - Jin-woo

Updates from Jin-woo

  1. Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($170). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.

  2. Update from Mapo: we've started the first stage. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jung-ho

        • Jin-woo JinOwnerAnswerAddress verified

          Heating arrears is $340 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

      • Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

        • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

          • Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Mapo!

            • Praying for you, Jin-woo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
