Don't let Jennifer's family go through summer without water
Help Jennifer cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇺🇸 Dallas, Texas, United States1,060 views
The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $800. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 $800 goes:
• Gas arrears: $480
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $250
With deep gratitude,
Jennifer

Thinking of you and your family, Jennifer. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dallas.
Thank you. If you're in Dallas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope things get better soon, Jennifer. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Butwal this morning. Love from Butwal.
Good luck, Jennifer. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Petrópolis
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Diego.
Wishing you peace, Jennifer. Shared it with a few friends
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jennifer.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gas arrears comes first ($480) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Miami!
