Don't let Edgardo's family go through the cold months without water
Edgardo is behind on water bills after losing my job in December and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in December.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Edgardo. Your post was clear and honest. God bless!
Sending strength, Edgardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Makati
Sending good thoughts, Edgardo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Warangal but we're thinking of you. Take care
