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

Fatima is behind on water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $100. 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 $10 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $45 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Thank you so much. - Fatima

      Stay strong, Fatima. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

        So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
