Help Aisha with an overdue water bill before summer

The water account is 4 months behind. Aisha received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before December's medical emergency. Aisha called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Aisha is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Aisha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Utility arrears: $130 • Reconnection and late fees: $40 • Down payment on a payment plan: $80 Thank you for reading my story.
