Keep the water on at Júlia's home in Santarém
Júlia is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.
🇧🇷 Santarém, Pará, Brazil1,127 views
The water account is 4 months behind. Júlia received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $200 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Júlia called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Júlia is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Júlia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Heating arrears: $125
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Júlia?
Thank you. If you're in Santarém I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Paarl
how is Júlia doing now?
good luck, Raquel. I hope things turn around soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier. All the best
Rooting for you, Raquel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope things get better soon, Raquel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Santarém.
