The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $700. 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 $55 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Angel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $700 goes: • Water arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $130 • Down payment on a payment plan: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Angel

Updates from Angel

  1. We're at 22% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for water arrears is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($136 in total) I made the first payment toward water arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Thank you. If you're in Derry I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Caxias do Sul this morning. Blessings.

    • Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

      • looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Madrid.
