Keep the electricity and water on at Skylar's home in Glasgow

Skylar is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Skylar received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Skylar called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, 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. Skylar is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Skylar's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Water arrears: $460 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $165 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Dylan

Updates from Dylan

  1. Update from Glasgow: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 40% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $295 raised so far (39%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
