Keep the electricity on at Lucas's home in São Paulo

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Lucas needs $200 before November.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. 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 $30 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $200 goes: • Water arrears: $105 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Lucas

        sending strength, Lucas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

          Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
