Keep the electricity and water on at Ye-eun's home in Scranton

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Ye-eun needs $900 before October.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $900. I have never been late before July's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Ye-eun's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: • Heating arrears: $510 • Reconnection and late fees: $120 • Down payment on a payment plan: $270 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Hang in there, Ye-eun. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Ye-eun?

        Thank you. If you're in Scranton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

    • Gbenga Jide Oyelaran

      Good luck, Ye-eun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Los Angeles.

              Best of luck, Ye-eun. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Scranton!
