Don't let Abigail's family go through summer without water
Abigail is behind on water bills after losing my job in March and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $650. I have never been late before losing my job in March.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through summer without water 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 Abigail's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Water arrears: $330
• Reconnection and late fees: $125
• Down payment on a payment plan: $195
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

Looking forward to the next update. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
