The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $95
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Yinka. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update
good luck, Yinka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
You're not alone, Yinka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Take care, Yinka. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you.
