Help Valentina with an overdue electricity bill before winter

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Valentina received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $300 is paid. She had never been late before August's medical emergency. Valentina 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 winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Valentina is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Valentina's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $300 goes: • Utility arrears: $185 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
