Pregnant single mothers, the elderly, the disabled, families with young children—anyone with an overdue bill is at risk for losing water access *and much more*.

People can't prosper without basic assurances—like water at home. Let's get families out of this situation. I'm matching $2,000 in donations to
@humanutility (on top of $1,000 I just gave). Donate at https://detroitwaterproject.org/ and forward your receipt to waterisaright@mschade.me.Prikaži ovu nit
