Keep the electricity on at Isaac's home in Sacramento

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

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Isaac received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Isaac called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $145 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Isaac is working on getting back on his 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: $310 • Reconnection and late fees: $145 • Down payment on a payment plan: $95 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Sending love, Jaxon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Warangal so I could bring a meal.

    • Việt Phong Ta

      Thinking of you and your family, Jaxon. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
