Keep the water on at Manuel's home in Xalapa

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $250. I have never been late before December's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $120 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $110 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
