Keep the electricity and water on at Khadija's home in Madrid

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Khadija needs $500 before May.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $500. I have never been late before losing my job in February. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Khadija's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $60 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($79). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Update from Madrid: I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
