Don't let Abril's family go through the rainy season without electricity

Abril is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $850 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $850. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Abril's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Gas arrears: $620 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
