Don't let Santiago's family go through the rainy season without water

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $900. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Santiago's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: • Utility arrears: $580 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 I hope life is good to you. - Santiago
