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

Nina is behind on water bills after losing my job in September and needs $800 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. Nina received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in September. Nina called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Nina 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 $800 goes: • Utility arrears: $590 • Reconnection and late fees: $100 • Down payment on a payment plan: $110 I hope life is good to you. - Dieter

  • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Alexandria.

    • sending good thoughts, Dieter. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Rockford.

      • Thinking of you, Dieter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

        • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Boulogne-Billancourt but we're thinking of you!
