Don't let María's family go through the rainy season without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and María needs $550 before November.
🇺🇸 Dallas, Texas, United States968 views
The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $550. 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 $135 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 María's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Water arrears: $410
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $75

Updates from María
Good news. Because of your gifts ($480 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($232 in total) I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
