Water shut-off notice: help Jorge pay $200
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Jorge needs $200 before June.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $200. 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 $55 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, 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: $140
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

take care, Jorge. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
