Don't let Manoel's family go through the rainy season without heating

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Manoel needs $250 before October.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $250. 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 $60 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without heating 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 Manoel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Electricity arrears: $135 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 I hope life is good to you. - Manoel

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

    • Sabbir Rakib Mukherjee

      Hang in there, Manoel. Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier.

      • Aria A. Martinez

        Hang in there, Manoel. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Somchai F Kittisak

          Good luck, Manoel. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Curitiba

          • Ruwini Tharushi WijesingheQuestion

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manoel!

            • Manoel Anderson CunhaOwnerAnswer

              The list at the bottom is the whole picture. electricity arrears is the biggest at $135. Fair thing to want to know.

          • Omer Talha Mirza

            You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Curitiba.
