Don't let Jack's family go through the cold months without water
Jack is behind on water bills after July's medical emergency and needs $1,000 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 October unless I pay $1,000. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
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 three children under ten, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Jack's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Gas arrears: $590
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $200
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
