Keep the electricity on at Bithi's home in Birmingham
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Bithi needs $850 before May.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,543 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $850. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity 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 Bithi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Gas arrears: $620
• Reconnection and late fees: $80
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150

Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Alcalá de Henares so I could bring a meal
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bithi
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. gas arrears is the biggest at $620. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Birmingham.
Stay strong, Bithi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Flint.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Makati!
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 24 people at work
