The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $650. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Scarlett's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: โ€ข Gas arrears: $300 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $140 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Sending love, Scarlett. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
