Don't let Esperanza's family go through the rainy season without water
Esperanza is behind on water bills after losing my job in August and needs $600 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 October unless I pay $600. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 Esperanza's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Gas arrears: $400
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $85
With deep gratitude,
Esperanza
