Electricity shut-off notice: help Carmen pay $600
Help Carmen cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇪🇸 Spain2,014 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $600. 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 $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, 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 Carmen's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $410
• Reconnection and late fees: $100
• Down payment on a payment plan: $90
Glad we found this place.
