Keep the heating on at Leonardo's home in Caxias do Sul

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Leonardo needs $200 before December.

Caxias do Sul
The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $200. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without heating 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 Leonardo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Electricity arrears: $90 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Leonardo

Updates from Leonardo

  1. Quick update: $5 raised so far (3%). the plan for electricity arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($14). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.
