Don't let Hugo's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water

Hugo is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Hugo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $950 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Hugo called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Hugo is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $950 goes: • Utility arrears: $550 • Reconnection and late fees: $165 • Down payment on a payment plan: $235 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
