Keep the water on at Isla's home in Manchester
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Isla needs $800 before October.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom975 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $800. 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 $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Isla's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Heating arrears: $460
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $245
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

you're not alone. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Manchester
Take care, Isla. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from San Jose!
Thinking of you and your family, Isla. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Latina this morning
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Phuket
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Varanasi!
