Don't let Ricardo's family go through summer without electricity and water

Help Ricardo cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $400. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Ricardo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $400 goes: • Gas arrears: $130 • Reconnection and late fees: $80 • Down payment on a payment plan: $190 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Exceptional service

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Madrid.

      Wishing you the best, Ricardo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning. Love from Kyiv.

        praying for you, Ricardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
