Don't let Frieda's family go through summer without water

Help Frieda cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The water account is 3 months behind. Frieda received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $500 is paid. She had never been late before July's medical emergency. Frieda called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Frieda is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $230 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $165 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
