Keep the electricity on at Angel's home in Mandaue

Help Angel cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.

Mandaue
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $150. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Angel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $55 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  1. We're at 73% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward water arrears. More news soon.

  2. Small update. $75 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($25). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for water arrears is now scheduled.

      thinking of you, Angel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mandaue.
