Looking for help to keep my electricity on

Hello Assistance Community,

I lost my main source of income back in October after leaving a decades long harmful relationship and I have been struggling to keep up. I have found ways to scrape by, but now I'm completely stuck. I start my new job on the 15th, but a turn-off notice has been issued for my electricity (I don't have gas) and it's really cold here in Philadelphia, PA. My first couple of paychecks all have to go towards rent to hopefully avoid eviction.

$164.66 is due immediately to avoid shut-off. I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel now that I have finally found work, however, I am in need of a little help to get me through until then. I'm already losing my and my sons phones for however long it'll take me to catch up, and I have had to make peace with that. But, I don't think we can make it through without electricity, which includes our heating and ways to cook meals.

If any of you kind people in this community can help keep my electric on for myself and my son, I will be forever grateful and I promise to pay-it-forward in the future once I've finally caught up.

Thank you for reading this and for your consideration. I have venmo, cash app, and PayPal. I'm unsure if we're allowed to use anything else. I also have a store on mercari where I'm selling new and gently used cosmetics and skincare products. If you're interested in looking, please DM me for my pages link, this a side thing I've been doing for extra income.

I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this request. Thanks again xx
