Water shut-off notice: help Carolina pay $450
Carolina is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $450 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $450. 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 $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $450 goes:
• Utility arrears: $270
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
Thanks for being kind about this.

Update from Los Angeles: I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $75 raised so far (17%). the plan for utility arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
6% there. I made the first payment toward utility arrears. Thank you.

thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
