Keep the electricity and water on at Aparecida's home in Santos
Aparecida is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Aparecida received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Aparecida called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Aparecida is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Aparecida's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Gas arrears: $160
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40

Sending strength, Giovana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Good luck, Giovana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Coyoacán.
praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. God bless
