Help Sebastián with an overdue electricity and water bill before winter
Sebastián is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.
Anywhere in the world878 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Sebastián received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $500 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Sebastián called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Sebastián is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sebastián's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $350
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $105
Every share and every dollar helps.

any update on how things are going in Granada?
Sending strength, Mauricio. I hope things turn around soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Sending strength, Mauricio. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Granada
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Sacramento.
Hope it all works out, Mauricio. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Best of luck, Mauricio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Rooting for you, Mauricio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Granada
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
