The water account is 2 months behind. Alexa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $850 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Alexa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Alexa is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Alexa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Electricity arrears: $530 • Reconnection and late fees: $145 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
