Help Teodoro with an overdue electricity and water bill before the cold months

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Teodoro received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before August's medical emergency. Teodoro 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 three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Teodoro is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Divina
