Electricity shut-off notice: help Manuel pay $150
Manuel is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 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 June unless I pay $150. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Manuel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Manuel. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Coyoacán so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Quezon City.

Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

Keep going, Manuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai!
Thinking of you, Manuel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
