Keep the electricity on at Raymond's home in Auckland

Raymond is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $750 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 July unless I pay $750. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. 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 $750 goes: • Heating arrears: $410 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $235 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Raymond
