Keep the water on at Murilo's home in Rio de Janeiro

The water account is 4 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 a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Murilo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Utility arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 Thank you for reading my story.
