The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $200. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Otieno's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Heating arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Otieno. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Columbus.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless!
