Help Uzma with an overdue water bill before winter

The water account is 4 months behind. Uzma received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $105 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in June. Uzma called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Uzma is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Uzma's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $105 goes: • Water arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 Glad we found this place.
