Keep the water on at Greta's home in Berlin
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Greta needs $550 before November.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in September.
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 newborn, and going through summer 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 $550 goes:
• Utility arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $190
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Greta.
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $310, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Greta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Tarkwa
Good luck, Greta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Epe
