The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $500. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Samantha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Utility arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $105
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Londrina but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Best of luck, Samantha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Nuremberg this morning. Take care.
