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.
