Electricity shut-off notice: help Lorena pay $150

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Lorena received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Lorena called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Lorena is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Lorena's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rodrigo
