Water shut-off notice: help Thomas pay $900
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Thomas needs $900 before August.
🇺🇸 United States1,609 views
The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $900. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $900 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $520
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Thomas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Gdańsk so I could bring a meal. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Los Angeles.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thinking of you and your family, Thomas. I hope things turn around soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Bengaluru.
Sending strength, Thomas. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Mumbai.
