Keep the electricity on at Oneil's home in Kingston

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $300. I have never been late before losing my job in November. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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 $300 goes: • Utility arrears: $155 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
