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

The water account is 3 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 $130 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. 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 Riley's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $500 goes: • Gas arrears: $270 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $125 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
