Keep the water on at Brooklyn's home in Los Angeles

Brooklyn is behind on water bills after losing my job in March and needs $500 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 June unless I pay $500. I have never been late before losing my job in March. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $150 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $90 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Take care, Brooklyn. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
