Don't let Patricia's family go through winter without water
Help Patricia cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $150. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $35
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Patricia
Quick update: $35 raised so far (23%). the plan for electricity arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) the plan for electricity arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Iztapalapa: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

so sorry you're going through this, Patricia. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you the best, Patricia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Wrocław so I could bring a meal.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Bristol.
Praying for you, Patricia. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Sent it to 35 people at work. Love from Lansing.
Hope it all works out, Patricia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Iztapalapa
