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

The water account is 3 months behind. Rashidi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Rashidi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Rashidi is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rashidi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Glad we found this place.
