Water shut-off notice: help Brooklyn pay $650
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Brooklyn needs $650 before April.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $650. 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 $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $650 goes:
• Water arrears: $330
• Reconnection and late fees: $220
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Brooklyn. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
wishing you the best, Brooklyn. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Brooklyn?
Thank you. If you're in Mississauga I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
You're not alone, Brooklyn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
