Water shut-off notice: help Abhishek pay $500
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Abhishek needs $500 before November.
🇬🇧 United KingdomPosted Oct 1, 2026885 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $500. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Abhishek's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Gas arrears: $370
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Abhishek
Quick update: $55 raised so far (11%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 46% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

Best of luck, Abhishek. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Glasgow.
how is Abhishek doing now?
Hope it all works out, Abhishek. Your post was clear and honest.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Guarulhos so I could bring a meal.
