Don't let Marcelo's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Marcelo cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January 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 $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through summer 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:
• Gas arrears: $175
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thank you so much.
