Water shut-off notice: help Rita pay $700
Rita is behind on water bills after August's medical emergency and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. Rita received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Rita called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Rita is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Rita's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Utility arrears: $420
• Reconnection and late fees: $125
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Elena. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Latina.
Hang in there, Elena. This could happen to any of us.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Ludhiana
