Water shut-off notice: help Colton pay $800
Colton is behind on water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $800 to avoid a shut-off.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States1,461 views
The water account is 4 months behind. Colton received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $800 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Colton called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through winter without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Colton is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $800 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $450
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $290
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Dustin. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending good thoughts, Dustin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Liverpool.
thinking of you, Dustin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Greensboro.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Tarragona donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Greensboro.
so sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
