Don't let Joshua's family go through the cold months without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Joshua needs $100 before December.
🇵🇭 Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines1,673 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Joshua's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Joshua
Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($48). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
