Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Mónica pay $300

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $300. 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 $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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 Mónica's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $300 goes: • Water arrears: $185 • Reconnection and late fees: $60 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Mónica
