Heating shut-off notice: help Lorena pay $200
Lorena is behind on heating bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil688 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. Lorena received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $200 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Lorena called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Lorena is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Lorena's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $115
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Eindhoven.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Milan this morning. God bless
wishing you the best, Felipe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Best of luck, Felipe. This could happen to any of us
Sending love, Felipe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Stay strong, Felipe. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Radom.
