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

Sani is behind on water bills after November's medical emergency and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. I have never been late before November's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 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 $100 goes: โ€ข Utility arrears: $40 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $15 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $45 Thanks for reading all this.
