Don't let Ronaldo's family go through the cold months without electricity

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Ronaldo needs $150 before November.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Ronaldo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Good luck, Ronaldo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Take care

    • Thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Campinas.
