Don't let Pedro's family go through winter without electricity
Help Pedro cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇵🇭 Mandaue, Cebu, Philippines1,753 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $150. 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter without electricity 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 $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Thank you for reading my story.

keep going. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 28 people at work. Blessings
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bengaluru so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning
Thinking of you and your family, Pedro. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Warangal.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Praying for you, Pedro. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Khon Kaen so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Pedro. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Rooting for you, Pedro. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Muzaffarpur
