The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $650. 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 $150 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 Gregory's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $380 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $90 Thank you for reading my story.
