Keep the water on at Eliane's home in Porto Alegre
Help Eliane cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $200. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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 $200 goes:
• Water arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Porto Alegre
Thank you. If you're in Porto Alegre I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Thinking of you, Eliane. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
any update on how things are going in Porto Alegre?
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Hang in there, Eliane. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
