Keep the electricity on at Sophie's home in Gold Coast

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Sophie needs $750 before November.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $750. 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 $155 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through winter 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 Sophie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Gas arrears: $490 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 Thank you so much.

    Thinking of you and your family, Sophie. Your post was clear and honest. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

        Keep going, Sophie. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

        • Igor Vladimir Alexandrov

          Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
