Got two payment reminders for internet for the last two months. They'll shut off our only connection to humanity and groceries (we're disabled, without transport, isolated in a rural area and without irl friends) if we don't pay up within a week. Don't want to have to use our moving funds on this or we'll never get out! 😭

Anything helps! 🙏
