Keep the electricity on at Miles's home in Albany

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $650. I have never been late before April's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, 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 $650 goes: • Water arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $145 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 Every share and every dollar helps.
