Don't let Hong's family go through the cold months without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Hong needs $950 before July.
🇺🇸 United States2,783 views
The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $950. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $950 goes:
• Gas arrears: $600
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $280
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Hong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Addis Ababa.

so sorry you're going through this, Hong. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
