Help Mauricio with an overdue electricity and water bill before the rainy season
Mauricio is behind on electricity and water bills after November's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Mauricio received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before November's medical emergency.
Mauricio called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Mauricio is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Mauricio's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Water arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
