Don't let Harold's family go through the rainy season without water
Harold is behind on water bills after losing my job in June and needs $750 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 September unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in June.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Harold's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Utility arrears: $380
• Reconnection and late fees: $195
• Down payment on a payment plan: $175
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
