Water shut-off notice: help Hari pay $150

The water account is 2 months behind. Hari received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Hari called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Hari 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 $150 goes: • Water arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Shruthi
