Don't let Lucas's family go through summer without water
Lucas is behind on water bills after June's medical emergency and needs $1,100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $1,100. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Water arrears: $630
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $305
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Lucas. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
