Water shut-off notice: help Zeynep pay $800

The water account is 3 months behind. Zeynep received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in July. Zeynep called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Zeynep is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Zeynep's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Water arrears: $440 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $225 Glad we found this place.
