Keep the electricity on at William's home in Toronto
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and William needs $800 before December.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada886 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. William received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $800 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in October.
William called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
William is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in William's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Gas arrears: $440
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230

so sorry you're going through this, Charlotte. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Toronto.
how is William doing now?
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Bacolod this morning. Greetings from Bacolod.
is there anything that isn't money that would help William?
Thank you. If you're in Toronto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you. All the best
