Heating shut-off notice: help Marcelo pay $250
Help Marcelo cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil665 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $250. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without heating 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Marcelo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Gas arrears: $150
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Take care, Marcelo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Paarl.
Rooting for you, Marcelo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of São Paulo
Rooting for you, Marcelo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Marcelo. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you, Marcelo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
