Don't let Colton's family go through summer without water
Help Colton cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇺🇸 United States593 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $750. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $195 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer 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 Colton's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $460
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $185
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Colton. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from San Diego.
Praying for you, Colton. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Coventry
