The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $100. I have never been late before October's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ibrahim
