The water account is 2 months behind. Márcia received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Márcia called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Márcia is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Márcia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Gas arrears: $135 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Thanks for reading all this. - Arthur
