Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Álvaro pay $650

Help Álvaro cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $650. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity and water 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 $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $330 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $215 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
