Keep the electricity on at Ezekiel's home in San Diego
Ezekiel is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in April and needs $900 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $900. I have never been late before losing my job in April.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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 Ezekiel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $580
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Ezekiel
Quick update: $385 raised so far (43%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from San Diego: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 43% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward electricity arrears.

Thinking of you and your family, Ezekiel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Diego
