Keep the water on at Daniel's home in Los Angeles
Daniel is behind on water bills after losing my job in May and needs $850 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 August unless I pay $850. I have never been late before losing my job in May.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $850 goes:
• Heating arrears: $510
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $165
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Daniel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Taguig donated after I showed her your page
