Keep the water on at Lourdes's home in Barcelona
Help Lourdes cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $550. I have never been late before January's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter 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 Lourdes's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Heating arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
Thanks for reading all this.

You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Sending strength, Lourdes. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Kanpur donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you and your family, Lourdes. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Wishing you peace, Lourdes. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Barcelona.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Bordeaux.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thinking of you, Lourdes. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Jakarta.
Wishing you peace, Lourdes. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
