Gas shut-off notice: help Edilene pay $250
Help Edilene cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇧🇷 Santos, São Paulo, Brazil1,045 views
The gas account is 2 months behind. Edilene received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Edilene called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Edilene is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Gas arrears: $150
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Pedro
Update from Santos: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 86% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 66% thanks to 3 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($145 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
