Don't let Parker's family go through winter without water

Parker is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. Parker received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Parker called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Parker 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 $600 goes: • Water arrears: $250 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $180 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
