Electricity shut-off notice: help Sérgio pay $200
Help Sérgio cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇧🇷 Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil574 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. Sérgio received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Sérgio called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Sérgio is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sérgio's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Gas arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
