Water shut-off notice: help Brooklyn pay $750
Brooklyn is behind on water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $750. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $450
• Reconnection and late fees: $155
• Down payment on a payment plan: $145
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Brooklyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Kharkiv but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Los Angeles
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Onitsha
Hope things get better soon, Brooklyn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Wishing you the best, Brooklyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Calamba so I could bring a meal
So sorry you're going through this, Brooklyn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care.
Take care, Brooklyn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
You're not alone, Brooklyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Love from Charlotte.
