Water shut-off notice: help Raymond pay $750
Raymond is behind on water bills after May's medical emergency and needs $750 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 September unless I pay $750. 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 $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, 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 Raymond's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $390
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
Every share and every dollar helps.

We're at 8% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. More news soon.
Small update. $50 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Raymond
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Raymond

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Montgomery.
Thank you. If you're in Montgomery I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Toledo!
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us!
