Don't let José's family go through the cold months without water

The water account is 3 months behind. José received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before July's medical emergency. José called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, 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. José is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in José's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Electricity arrears: $130 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Every share and every dollar helps.
