Don't let Atul's family go through winter without water
Atul is behind on water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $150. 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45

Updates from Atul
Small update. $19 so far, I made the first payment toward water arrears.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($10). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
