Water shut-off notice: help Renata pay $200
Renata is behind on water bills after November's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $200. 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 $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Renata's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $130
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55

Good luck, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
