The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in July.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Bianca's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Bianca?
Thank you. If you're in Contagem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family, Bianca. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
rooting for you, Bianca. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Luxor
So sorry you're going through this, Bianca. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
