Keep the electricity on at Mateo's home in London
Mateo is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in December and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $650. I have never been late before losing my job in December.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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 Mateo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $450
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Mateo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
you're not alone, Mateo. I hope things turn around soon. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Mateo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of London
