The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $200. I have never been late before February's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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 Lourdes's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Water arrears: $110 • Reconnection and late fees: $40 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.
