Don't let Julián's family go through the cold months without electricity and water
Julián is behind on electricity and water bills after February's medical emergency and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $250. I have never been late before February's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Water arrears: $145
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Thanks for reading all this.
