The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $700. I have never been late before May's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 $700 goes: โ€ข Heating arrears: $400 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $175 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $125 Thank you for reading my story. - Quinn
