Keep the water on at Kevin's home in Houston

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $900. 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 an elderly mother, and going through the cold months 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Kevin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: • Heating arrears: $540 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $235 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
