Don't let Cláudia's family go through the rainy season without water

Cláudia is behind on water bills after June's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $200. I have never been late before June's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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 $200 goes: • Electricity arrears: $110 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Thank you for reading my story. - Cláudia

  1. Quick update: $117 raised so far (59%). the plan for electricity arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
