Help Joaquín with an overdue electricity bill before summer
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Joaquín needs $150 before December.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Joaquín received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Joaquín called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Joaquín is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Joaquín's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Marcos. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Dehiwala.
