Electricity shut-off notice: help Rolando pay $150

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Rolando received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Rolando called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Rolando is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rolando's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $95 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Maricel
