Keep the electricity on at Aurora's home in Christchurch
Help Aurora cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇳🇿 New Zealand1,302 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Aurora received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Aurora called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Aurora is working on getting back on her 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 $750 goes:
• Heating arrears: $460
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $205
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Best of luck, Adeline. Shared this with my family. All the best
your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Łódź.
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Christchurch.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Lagos
