The water account is 4 months behind. Khadija received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Khadija called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Khadija is working on getting back on her 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 $750 goes: • Gas arrears: $470 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $190 Thanks for reading all this. - Idris

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($40 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Idris

    Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Oakland.

          You're not alone, Idris. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

            hope it all works out, Idris. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Los Angeles.
