Keep the electricity on at Jameson's home in Birmingham
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Jameson needs $800 before October.

The electricity account is 2 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 $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Jameson's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Water arrears: $480
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $250
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Jameson. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Stay strong, Jameson. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Jameson. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
so sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Biratnagar.
