Water shut-off notice: help Geneviève pay $700

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Geneviève needs $700 before August.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $700. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. 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 a disabled brother, and going through summer 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 Geneviève's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $700 goes: • Heating arrears: $360 • Reconnection and late fees: $145 • Down payment on a payment plan: $195 Glad we found this place.

    Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 14 people at work. Love from Oakland.

          Thanks for sharing this, Geneviève. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
