Keep the electricity on at Hugo's home in Barcelona
Hugo is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $350 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 October unless I pay $350. 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 parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $350 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $175
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Love from Milan.
You're not alone, Hugo. Looking forward to the next update.
