Keep the electricity on at Rémi's home in Sydney

Help Rémi cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Rémi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Rémi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, 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. Rémi is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rémi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Water arrears: $290 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $170 Every share and every dollar helps. - Claire

Updates from Claire

  1. 40% there. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Thank you.

  2. Update from Sydney: I made the first payment toward water arrears. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($77 in total) I made the first payment toward water arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Sending love, Claire. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Salvador so I could bring a meal.
