Help me with an overdue water bill before the rainy season
Help Sombat cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $200. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sombat's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sombat
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. utility arrears comes first ($110) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Sombat. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Jaipur this morning. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
take care. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sombat?
Thank you. If you're in Chiang Mai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
rooting for you, Sombat. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Chiang Mai
How is Sombat doing now?
Good luck, Sombat. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Oakland this morning. All the best.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Jakarta
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Sombat. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Ciudad de México
Best of luck, Sombat. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
