Don't let Janina's family go through the rainy season without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Janina needs $350 before October.
🇵🇱 Wrocław, Lower Silesia, Poland1,047 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $350. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $350 goes:
• Heating arrears: $190
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lower Silesia. I'll ask around and let you know
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Wrocław.
Best of luck, Janina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Akron.
Thinking of you and your family, Janina. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
how is Janina doing now?

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Good luck, Janina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Wrocław.
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Rooting for you, Janina. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
