Keep the water on at Daniela's home in Santos
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Daniela needs $200 before July.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $200. 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 $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, 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 Daniela's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Water arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Daniela. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
