Water shut-off notice: help Zaid pay $100

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $100. 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 $15 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $35 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
