Keep the water on at Rubén's home in Buenos Aires

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Rubén needs $200 before December.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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 Rubén's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Utility arrears: $120 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Rubén

  1. Update from Buenos Aires: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 53% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($105 in total) the plan for utility arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
