Keep the electricity on at Véronique's home in Marseille
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Véronique needs $700 before November.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Véronique received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Véronique called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Véronique is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $700 goes:
• Water arrears: $450
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $195
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Thierry
Small update. $104 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.

How is Véronique doing now?
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
Best of luck, Thierry. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Marseille
