Keep the electricity on at Travis's home in Cairns
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Travis needs $900 before August.
🇦🇺 Australia1,344 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $900. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $160 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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 Travis's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Gas arrears: $540
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $180

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cairns
Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
