Electricity shut-off notice: help Sergio pay $300
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Sergio needs $300 before October.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $300. 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 $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $300 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $150
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
You're not alone, Sergio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless!
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
