Don't let Brandon's family go through winter without water
Brandon is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $650 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 December unless I pay $650. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 $650 goes:
• Utility arrears: $250
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $250
Thank you for reading my story.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Malang
Hope it all works out, Brandon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Sacramento.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 40 people at work. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Brandon. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
