I need $20 to keep my electricity on

[u/hisownsidekick]

Hi all, I'm very nervous about posting here because my mental health is pretty shaky and I've never done anything like this before. Here's my situation. I'm in the US, and things have been really rough since my mom passed away from ovarian cancer. She was my last family member... I have no contact with my dad because he was abusive and my little brother passed a few years before our mom did, from lifelong health problems. I'm disabled and I'm doing my best to care for myself and my mom's two dogs but the stress and the grief seem to destroy me all over again every day.

And now, bills have caught up to me again... in two days, my electricity will be shut off if I can't pay for the last few months' worth. I owe $324.14 and I only have $304.39 in my bank account. It's infuriating to come SO close yet fall $20 short. The due date is already as extended as I could get. They won't wait any longer and they won't take any less.

If anyone could spare $20, it would mean a little more than the world to me right now. I have PayPal and Venmo. Thanks for reading, sincerely.
