The electricity account is 3 months behind. Harold received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in October. Harold called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Harold is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Harold's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Heating arrears: $250 • Reconnection and late fees: $100 • Down payment on a payment plan: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Santiago

  1. Update from St. Louis: I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
