Help Evelyn with an overdue water bill before the rainy season
Help Evelyn cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇦🇺 Australia1,475 views
The water account is 2 months behind. Evelyn received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August.
Evelyn called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, 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.
Evelyn is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $700 goes:
• Water arrears: $380
• Reconnection and late fees: $135
• Down payment on a payment plan: $185
If you're reading this, thank you.

You're not alone, Henry. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Laredo.
Hang in there, Henry. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Saint Petersburg so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Geelong
