Keep the electricity on at Lester's home in Makati

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $150. I have never been late before May's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Lester's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
