Keep the electricity on at Hang's home in Toronto

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Hang needs $600 before August.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Hang received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before April's medical emergency. Hang called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Hang is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Hang's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Utility arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $115 • Down payment on a payment plan: $265 Thank you for reading my story. - Hui

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hang.

          • Hui DingOwnerAnswer

            It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $220, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.

            Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hang?

            • Hui DingOwnerAnswer

              Thank you. If you're in Toronto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

                    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 19 people at work. Love from Grand Rapids.
