Keep the electricity and water on at Lincoln's home in Montréal

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Lincoln needs $850 before October.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $850. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 Lincoln's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Electricity arrears: $580 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 Thanks for being kind about this.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Miami.
