Keep the water on at Mia's home in Houston

The water account is 2 months behind. Mia received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $1,000 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Mia called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Mia is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Mia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $1,000 goes: • Electricity arrears: $520 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $310 With deep gratitude, Caleb
