This Has Taken a Toll on My Life… Please Help Me

Donation protected
I never thought I’d be in a position where I needed to ask for help, but I’ve been encouraged by so many people to set this up because of the situation I’m in. For the past 16 months, I’ve been living in my home without running water.

My soon-to-be ex-husband had disconnected the original well years ago and illegally connected my house to township water from the vacant property next door. In July 2024, he went into that house, cut every waterline, and removed the water meter — leaving me with no water source at all. Since then, I’ve tried everything I can to get water restored. The well on my property no longer works, and the township and county commissioner confirmed that I cannot get a township tap or waterline legally installed.

My only option now is to install a new well, which will cost around $12,000. I simply can’t afford that on my own, and living without running water has taken a huge toll on my health, safety, and daily life.
Now my vehicle is broke down and cannot even go get jugs of water. I’m struggling bad and just need some help to just survive.

I’m asking for help so I can get clean, safe running water back in my home and regain basic living conditions. Any amount truly helps more than you know, and I’m deeply grateful for anyone who takes the time to support or share this.

Thank you so much.
