The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $250. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Vinícius's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Heating arrears: $170
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Vinícius. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
