Electricity shut-off notice: help Raúl pay $200

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $200. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $200 goes: • Water arrears: $95 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Every share and every dollar helps.
