Keep the water on at Russell's home in Toronto
Help Russell cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $800. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Russell's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Gas arrears: $510
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $160

Updates from Russell
Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

thinking of you, Russell. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
hope it all works out, Russell. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Toronto
wishing you peace, Russell. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 38 people at work. All the best
