The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in April.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $200 goes:
• Heating arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Mateus. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Kasarani.
Wishing you the best, Mateus. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Rooting for you, Mateus. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Take care, Mateus. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
