Keep the electricity on at Roberto's home in Guarulhos

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Roberto received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $250 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August. Roberto called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Roberto is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Roberto's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $140 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lúcia
