Keep the electricity and water on at Sarah's home in Brooklyn
Sarah is behind on electricity and water bills after August's medical emergency and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $950. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 Sarah's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Gas arrears: $660
• Reconnection and late fees: $120
• Down payment on a payment plan: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rosario.
