Keep the electricity and water on at Lovely's home in Birmingham
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Lovely needs $800 before May.
🇺🇸 Birmingham, Alabama, United States787 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $800. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $175 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
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 Lovely's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Gas arrears: $480
• Reconnection and late fees: $75
• Down payment on a payment plan: $245

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lovely?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about gas arrears, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Hang in there, Lovely. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Birmingham
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lovely.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gas arrears comes first ($480) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Thinking of you and your family, Lovely. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Laval.
Take care, Lovely. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going, Lovely. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Shared this with my family. Don't give up. God bless.
