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

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
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 summer without electricity 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 $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.

wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon.
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marcos.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utility arrears is the biggest at $75. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you, Marcos. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Monterrey.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about utility arrears, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
thinking of you, Marcos. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Marcos. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Pretoria.
Keep going, Marcos. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in New Delhi this morning. Love from New Delhi
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Piraeus.
Looking forward to the next update. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 21 people at work.
stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Zaria.
