Don't let Mahmoud's family go through summer without water
Mahmoud is behind on water bills after losing my job in January and needs $550 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 April unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in January.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Mahmoud's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Heating arrears: $370
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $140
Thank you so much.

Updates from Mahmoud
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
5% there. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Thank you.
