Don't let Amparo's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Amparo cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $800. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer without electricity and water 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 Amparo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Gas arrears: $430
• Reconnection and late fees: $135
• Down payment on a payment plan: $235
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Amparo
Small update. $717 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($327). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.
