Water shut-off notice: help Yi pay $750
Yi is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair 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 March unless I pay $750. 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 three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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 Yi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Gas arrears: $400
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $240
Thanks for being kind about this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Kathmandu donated after I showed her your page.
