Don't let Oskar's family go through summer without water
Help Oskar cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom866 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $1,050. I have never been late before January's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Oskar's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Gas arrears: $590
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $295
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Oskar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Manchester.
How is Oskar doing now?
Hang in there, Oskar. Hope you get there.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Oskar?
Thank you. If you're in Manchester I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Oskar. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care!
Good luck, Oskar. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
