Electricity shut-off notice: help Sergio pay $150
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Sergio needs $150 before November.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in July.
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 winter 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 Sergio's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $105
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
With deep gratitude,
Sergio

Keep going, Sergio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Blessings
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Medellín!

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
