Update *****

I can get assistance on my energy bill !!!! Instead of $4,400 If I can gather up $2,482 then I’m in the clear to receive some government assistance !!! 

Hello, my name is Joaquin Banks-Williams, most know me online as RusselTheTrouble. I am an upcoming streamer for most platforms, but I’ve had to take a back seat on streaming because my sister was having problems finding housing with her kids ( my niece (11) and nephew(8) ). I offered to take care of them at my place in California, but to be honest, I bit off more than I can chew, and on top of that I recently lost my job and I have already found a new one but as of April 11th, 2024 my lights were turned off and the amount to pay to turn them back on is 4,481.71. I don’t understand how it got so out of hand, and why it’s so much but I’m out of options and have no way to work on my streaming job (which I’m probably about to lose cuz i can’t hit the quota this month for going LIVE) and my niece and nephew and my partner will have to be in the dark and cold for at least another month, we had to store our fridge food elsewhere, and we have to use a lamp to get around the house, and overall it’s just a depressing environment . I ask for your understanding and please don’t hate me, I’m only 25, turning 26 next month and I thought raising my sisters children would be easy. It was/is not. Please anything helps towards our goal and I’m also doing my part by continuing to work. Please let’s work TOGETHER
