Keep the electricity on at Hiba's home in Bristol

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Hiba needs $800 before October.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $800. 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 $105 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $800 goes: • Heating arrears: $510 • Reconnection and late fees: $140 • Down payment on a payment plan: $150 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
