Help Josefa with an overdue water bill before the rainy season

The water account is 3 months behind. Josefa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Josefa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, 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. Josefa is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Josefa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Utility arrears: $160 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
