The water account is 2 months behind. Maria received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $300 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Maria called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Maria is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $300 goes: • Utility arrears: $175 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 Thank you so much. - Flávio

Updates from Flávio

Good news. Because of your gifts ($240 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
