Keep the water on at Gabriella's home in Sacramento

Gabriella is behind on water bills after March's medical emergency and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $650. I have never been late before March's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $150 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Gabriella's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $330 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $255 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Gabriella

                  Wishing you the best, Gabriella. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
