Don't let Fernando's family go through the cold months without water

Fernando is behind on water bills after losing my job in February and needs $300 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 May unless I pay $300. I have never been late before losing my job in February. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, 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 $300 goes: โ€ข Heating arrears: $200 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $40 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $60 If you're reading this, thank you. - Fernando

Updates from Fernando

  1. Update from Campinas: I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Thank you. If you're in Campinas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
