Restoring Water, Restoring Hope: How WLP Helped Candace Get Back on Track

Candace, a client in Arizona, had been without water for almost two weeks. She and her husband had recently suffered several unexpected family emergencies and expenses, which put them behind on their utility bills. When the water company denied her request for a payment plan, Candace realized she would not be able to afford both water and rent. When she called me, she was planning on living without water until her next paycheck.

After connecting Candace with several resources to help with food and other necessities, I located an organization that agreed to pay half of her overdue water bill. Thanks to our supportive service dollar fund, we were able to pay the remainder, and she had the water turned back on.

Candace expressed several times how grateful she was for WLP’s assistance. For the first time in six months, she and her husband were current on all their expenses.
