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

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November 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 $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $165
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Glad we found this place.

Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Brasília.
Thinking of you, Paulo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Contagem.
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jalandhar
Hope things get better soon, Paulo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Brasília
