The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $550. I have never been late before November's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $160 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. 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 Mukesh's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Water arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $160 • Down payment on a payment plan: $170 With deep gratitude, Mukesh
