Electricity shut-off notice: help Francisco pay $250

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Francisco received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $250 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in April. Francisco called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Francisco is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Francisco's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $140 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
