Keep the electricity on at Jamal's home in Saint-Denis
Jamal is behind on electricity bills after August's medical emergency and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $700. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Jamal's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Heating arrears: $420
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($301 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
