The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $250. I have never been late before February's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $145
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Alejandra
Small update. $55 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Cali: we've started the first stage. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

so sorry you're going through this, Alejandra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hang in there, Alejandra. Hope this works out for you. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Cali.
