Keep the electricity on at Maverick's home in Bellevue
Maverick is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in August 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 losing my job in August.
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 a newborn, 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 Maverick's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Water arrears: $260
• Reconnection and late fees: $170
• Down payment on a payment plan: $270
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thank you. If you're in Bellevue I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Bellevue
