Keep the water on at Gerard's home in Limerick

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $600. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $600 goes: • Heating arrears: $420 • Reconnection and late fees: $115 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
