Don't let Tamsin's family go through the rainy season without water
Tamsin is behind on water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $700 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 October unless I pay $700. 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 $160 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Tamsin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Gas arrears: $380
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $140
With deep gratitude,
Tamsin
