Keep the water on at Esperanza's home in Ciudad de México

The water account is 3 months behind. Esperanza received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $200 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Esperanza called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Esperanza is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Esperanza'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: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 Thank you for reading my story.
