Water shut-off notice: help Mabel pay $150
Mabel is behind on water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 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 $150. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Mabel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

How is Mabel doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Mabel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Tema
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mabel.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. water arrears comes first ($80) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mabel?
Thank you. If you're in Tema I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Sandton donated after I showed her your page.
Praying for you, Mabel. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Tema
Best of luck, Mabel. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
hope it all works out, Mabel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Nice.

rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Cairo.
shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Stockholm this morning.
