The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $700. I have never been late before November's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity 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 Guadalupe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $700 goes: • Gas arrears: $430 • Reconnection and late fees: $150 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 With deep gratitude, Guadalupe
