Water shut-off notice: help Elijah pay $750
Elijah is behind on water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $750. 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 $170 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Elijah's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $500
• Reconnection and late fees: $80
• Down payment on a payment plan: $170
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good luck, Elijah. Shared this with my family.
wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Belfast this morning. God bless
Rooting for you, Elijah. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Best of luck, Elijah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Elijah. I hope things turn around soon
hope things get better soon, Elijah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Toronto.
