Keep the electricity and water on at Inés's home in Tuxtla Gutiérrez

Inés is behind on electricity and water bills after June's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $200. I have never been late before June's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with 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. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $200 goes: • Heating arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Inés

  1. 8% there. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Thank you. - Inés

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($5 in total) I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            So sorry you're going through this, Inés. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. Take care
