Don't let Bukola's family go through summer without water

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Bukola needs $100 before February.

The water account is 4 months behind. Bukola received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Bukola called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Bukola is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Bukola's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: β€’ Heating arrears: $55 β€’ Reconnection and late fees: $25 β€’ Down payment on a payment plan: $20 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
