Keep the electricity and water on at Noah's home in Akron

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Noah received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $850 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Noah called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Noah is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $850 goes: • Utility arrears: $500 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $240 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Hannah
