Keep the electricity on at Lourdes's home in Dallas
Lourdes is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $700 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 June unless I pay $700. 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 $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Lourdes's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Gas arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $220
• Down payment on a payment plan: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you, Lourdes. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Francisco.

Sending love, Lourdes. Hope this works out for you. Love from Awka.
Hope things get better soon, Lourdes. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
