H2O Go! A Fund for Detroit Citizens
Tax deductible
"United Nations Says Turning Off Poor Detroiters' Water Violates Human Rights" -Huffington Post
The citizens of Detroit need our help.
In a city where the median household income is less than half the national average, 38 percent of residents live below the poverty line and 23 percent are unemployed, it comes as no surprise that at least 40 percent of customers are delinquent on their bills. The city of Detroit's water and sewerage department is slated to cut off the water supply to the over 40% of the city's residents that have deliquent bills. Since this year's shut-offs started at the end of March, at least 15,000 Detroit households have had their water turned off. Residents have resorted to filling empty trash cans from neighbor's water hose in order to have water to drink, bathe in, cook with, and dispose of human waste. Water is not free but in these trying economic times many hardworking disadvantaged families just need some help with staying on top of the bills. The city of Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has given citizens with past due water bills 15 days to pay. Please donate whatever you can as we allocate funds to low-income families in Detroit through the H2O Go Fund!
