Keep the electricity on at Regina's home in Belo Horizonte

Regina is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Regina received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $200 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Regina called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Regina is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Regina's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Gas arrears: $105 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Rafael

  1. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Small update. $40 so far, I made the first payment toward gas arrears.

  • So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Pretoria this morning. God bless
