Keep the water on at Daniel's home in Bakersfield
Daniel is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $700. 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 $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Daniel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $400
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Daniel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 7 people at work. All the best.
Sending strength, Daniel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
