Electricity shut-off notice: help Gabriella pay $650
Gabriella is behind on electricity bills after December's medical emergency and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.
🇮🇹 Italy1,174 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Gabriella received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $650 is paid. She had never been late before December's medical emergency.
Gabriella called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Gabriella is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Gabriella's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Heating arrears: $370
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $175
I hope life is good to you.

thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Venice.
Thanks for sharing this, Beatrice. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cairo.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Venice.
Thank you. If you're in Venice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Venice.
Good luck, Beatrice. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Any update on how things are going in Venice?
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Veneto. I'll ask around and let you know!
wishing you peace, Beatrice. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 31 people at work. God bless.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
You're not alone, Beatrice. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
