Water shut-off notice: help Jacques pay $600
Help Jacques cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
Anywhere in the world999 views
The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $600. 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 $75 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $600 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $125
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155

Hope it all works out, Jacques. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jacques?
Thank you. If you're in Saint-Denis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
hang in there. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon, Jacques. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Athens.
