Don't let Márcio's family go through winter without electricity and water
Márcio is behind on electricity and water bills after losing my job in October and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

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 $200. I have never been late before losing my job in October.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 $200 goes:
• Heating arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Márcio. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 9 people at work. Greetings from Londrina
take care, Márcio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Sending good thoughts, Márcio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
