Electricity shut-off notice: help Susana pay $200
Susana is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina1,861 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $200. 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 $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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:
• Utility arrears: $105
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Port Harcourt.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Buenos Aires!
