Don't let Michael's family go through the cold months without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Michael needs $600 before February.
🇺🇸 Arlington, Texas, United States1,277 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $600. I have never been late before November's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $160 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 Michael's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $300
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $195
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Michael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up
Keep going, Michael. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning. God bless.
Sending love, Michael. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
