Water shut-off notice: help Declan pay $400

Help Declan cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $400. 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 $110 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Declan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $400 goes: • Utility arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $115 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Glad we found this place.
