Keep the water on at Boon's home in Bangkok
Boon is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $250. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 Boon's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $125
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
