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

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Joseph needs $650 before September.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $650. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $150 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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 $650 goes: • Water arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 Thank you so much.

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 52% funded and I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
