Anderson is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $250. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Anderson's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $160
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
With deep gratitude,
Anderson

sending love. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Thinking of São Paulo
Thinking of you, Anderson. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Entebbe.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
