Keep the water on at Gabriela's home in Belo Horizonte

Help Gabriela cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $300. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 $300 goes: • Water arrears: $165 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($122). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Belo Horizonte: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
