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

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $200. 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 $55 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Maria's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Heating arrears: $105
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Maria. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Take care, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this, Maria. Hope you get there.
Thanks for sharing this, Maria. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Surat this morning.
rooting for you, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
