Keep the electricity on at Marcos's home in Guarulhos
Marcos is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in March and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in March.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Marcos's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $120
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.
