Don't let Aparecida's family go through the cold months without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Aparecida needs $300 before September.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil1,503 views
The water account is 4 months behind. Aparecida received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $300 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Aparecida called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Aparecida is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $300 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $185
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Thanks for reading all this.

take care, Francisca. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Stuttgart.
