Water shut-off notice: help Michelle pay $750

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in February. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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 $750 goes: • Electricity arrears: $460 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 If you're reading this, thank you.
