Water shut-off notice: help Sophie pay $750
Sophie is behind on water bills after April'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 August unless I pay $750. I have never been late before April's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, 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.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $460
• Reconnection and late fees: $135
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings!
Thinking of you and your family, Sophie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Sophie. Hope you get there. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Dallas.
