Don't let Maricel's family go through the cold months without water

The water account is 2 months behind. Maricel received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before April's medical emergency. Maricel called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Maricel is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Maricel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $95 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Aileen
