Don't let Jose's family go through the rainy season without electricity
Jose is behind on electricity bills after August's medical emergency and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom918 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $500. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
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 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 Jose's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Water arrears: $260
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $175
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
