Keep the water on at Lucas's home in San Diego
Help Lucas 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 October unless I pay $800. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, 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 Lucas's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Water arrears: $540
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $165
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon, Lucas. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
