Help Pablo with an overdue water bill before the cold months

The water account is 2 months behind. Pablo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $300 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Pablo called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 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. Pablo is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Pablo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $300 goes: • Gas arrears: $160 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $95 Thank you so much. - Daniela
