Keep the electricity and water on at Viviane's home in Guarulhos

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Viviane received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Viviane called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Viviane is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Viviane's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Electricity arrears: $140 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Wagner
