Don't let Ronaldo's family go through winter without heating
Help Ronaldo cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $300. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter without heating 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $300 goes:
• Gas arrears: $190
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Ronaldo
Small update. $125 so far, I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
Update from São Paulo: we've started the first stage. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

So sorry you're going through this, Ronaldo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Love from Manila.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ronaldo?
good luck, Ronaldo. This could happen to any of us.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update!
Hope it all works out, Ronaldo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.
