Don't let Nicholas's family go through the rainy season without water
Nicholas is behind on water bills after August's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. Nicholas received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Nicholas called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Nicholas is working on getting back on his 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 $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nicholas
Electricity arrears is $70 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Best of luck, Devon. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
