Water shut-off notice: help Ana pay $600

Ana is behind on water bills after losing my job in July and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $600. 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 $180 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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 Ana's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Gas arrears: $280 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $210 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ana
