Keep the electricity on at Daniel's home in Fresno
Help Daniel cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇺🇸 United States1,503 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Daniel received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $850 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in May.
Daniel called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Daniel is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Daniel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Gas arrears: $410
• Reconnection and late fees: $135
• Down payment on a payment plan: $305
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Amparo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending love, Amparo. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Johannesburg
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Chattogram
Best of luck, Amparo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
