Help Lina with an overdue water bill before the cold months

The water account is 3 months behind. Lina received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $550 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Lina 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 parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Lina 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 $550 goes: • Gas arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $120 • Down payment on a payment plan: $210 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
