Don't let Christian's family go through the cold months without water

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $450. 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 $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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 $450 goes:
• Water arrears: $195
• Reconnection and late fees: $125
• Down payment on a payment plan: $130
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending good thoughts, Christian. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope things get better soon, Christian. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
so sorry you're going through this, Christian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
