Keep the electricity on at Anna's home in Québec

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $650. I have never been late before losing my job in June. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $650 goes: • Electricity arrears: $350 • Reconnection and late fees: $155 • Down payment on a payment plan: $145 Thanks for being kind about this. - Anna
