Don't let Hugo's family go through the cold months without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Hugo needs $850 before June.

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 $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Hugo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Heating arrears: $570
• Reconnection and late fees: $120
• Down payment on a payment plan: $160

Updates from Hugo
Wanted to say thank you properly. 73% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Laval: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hope things get better soon, Hugo. Hope this works out for you. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Take care. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Wellington.
Wishing you the best, Hugo. Your post was clear and honest.
wishing you the best, Hugo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Laval.
