Electricity shut-off notice: help Luciana pay $200
Luciana is behind on electricity bills after October's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $200. I have never been late before October'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 newborn, and going through summer 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Envigado
Hang in there, Luciana. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Luciana?
Thank you. If you're in São Paulo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
Good luck, Luciana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of São Paulo
Best of luck, Luciana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of São Paulo.
