Water shut-off notice: help Busaba pay $200

The water account is 4 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 July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Busaba's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Water arrears: $115 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Busaba
