Water shut-off notice: help Sophia pay $450
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Sophia needs $450 before February.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $450. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Sophia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $450 goes:
• Utility arrears: $250
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $115
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sophia?
Thank you. If you're in Duisburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
