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

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $500. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
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 $500 goes:
• Water arrears: $350
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.
