Help Yoon-ah with an overdue water bill before the cold months
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Yoon-ah needs $450 before June.
🇰🇷 Gwangju, Gwangju, South Korea624 views
The water account is 3 months behind. Yoon-ah received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $450 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Yoon-ah called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Yoon-ah 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 $450 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $270
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gwangju.
Thank you. If you're in Gwangju I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
wishing you the best, Jin-ah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Best of luck, Jin-ah. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Jin-ah. Hope you get there. Love from Accra
Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Madrid
