Keep the electricity and water on at Herman's home in Albuquerque

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Herman received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $1,000 is paid. He had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Herman called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Herman is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Herman's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Utility arrears: $710
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
