The water account is 2 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 September.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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 Ximena's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Water arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.
