Water shut-off notice: help Colette pay $500

Colette is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $500 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 April unless I pay $500. 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 $150 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $500 goes: • Water arrears: $250 • Reconnection and late fees: $150 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Colette
