Don't let Sofia's family go through the rainy season without electricity
Help Sofia cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $900. 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 $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 Sofia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Heating arrears: $600
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

keep going, Sofia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
