Keep the electricity and water on at Mio's home in Setagaya

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $500. 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 $85 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $500 goes: • Heating arrears: $250 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $155 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
