Water shut-off notice: help Ramón pay $200
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Ramón needs $200 before June.
🇲🇽 León, Guanajuato, Mexico1,560 views
The water account is 2 months behind. Ramón received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Ramón called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Ramón is working on getting back on his 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 $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Roberto. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
sending good thoughts, Roberto. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care!
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from São Paulo
