Keep the electricity on at Fionnuala's home in Dublin

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $600. 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 $70 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Fionnuala's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Gas arrears: $270 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $235 Thank you for reading my story.
