Help Wilfredo with an overdue water bill before winter

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Wilfredo needs $1,000 before December.

The water account is 4 months behind. Wilfredo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $1,000 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Wilfredo called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Wilfredo is working on getting back on his 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 $1,000 goes: • Utility arrears: $550 • Reconnection and late fees: $210 • Down payment on a payment plan: $240 Thanks for being kind about this.

    take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Priyanka A. Sastry

      Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Soweto so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

      • Asher P. Yang

        Thinking of you and your family, Jasmine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
