Water shut-off notice: help Easton pay $600

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Easton needs $600 before January.

The water account is 2 months behind. Easton received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Easton called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Easton 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 $600 goes: • Heating arrears: $280 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
