Keep the electricity and water on at Rocío's home in Tijuana

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Rocío received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Rocío called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Rocío is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rocío's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Electricity arrears: $150 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
