Electricity shut-off notice: help Tomás pay $250
Tomás is behind on electricity bills after June's medical emergency and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $250. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $160
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Tomás
We're at 48% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and the plan for utility arrears is now scheduled. - Tomás

Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Kilkenny this morning. Thinking of Mérida.
