Keep the electricity on at Gloria's home in Sydney

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Gloria needs $550 before September.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Gloria received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $550 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in May. Gloria called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Gloria is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $550 goes: • Water arrears: $195 • Reconnection and late fees: $165 • Down payment on a payment plan: $190 Glad we found this place. - Paisley

    Hang in there, Paisley. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

    • Rylee Guerrero

      So sorry you're going through this, Paisley. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Fe P. Gonzales

        Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Ribeirão Preto so I could bring a meal.
