Keep the electricity on at Elisabeth's home in Leipzig
Elisabeth is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $450 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $450. 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 $165 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Elisabeth's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $450 goes:
• Utility arrears: $210
• Reconnection and late fees: $75
• Down payment on a payment plan: $165
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you, Elisabeth. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elisabeth.
Sending good thoughts, Elisabeth. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best, Elisabeth. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
praying for you, Elisabeth. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kisumu but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
