Keep the heating on at Bianca's home in Rio de Janeiro

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $250. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Bianca's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Electricity arrears: $160 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Bianca
