Help Gustavo with an overdue water bill before winter
Help Gustavo cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,197 views
The water account is 4 months behind. Gustavo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in September.
Gustavo called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Gustavo is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Gustavo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Heating arrears: $95
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
