Water shut-off notice: help Imran pay $200

Imran is behind on water bills after losing my job in August and needs $200 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 $200. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through summer without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $200 goes: • Gas arrears: $125 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Imran

        Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
