Keep the electricity on at Araceli's home in Guadalajara
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Araceli needs $250 before November.
🇲🇽 Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico1,201 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in September.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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:
• Gas arrears: $155
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Araceli
Quick update: $25 raised so far (10%). the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
