Don't let Aaliyah's family go through the cold months without heating

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Aaliyah needs $950 before December.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $950. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $950 goes: • Gas arrears: $510 • Reconnection and late fees: $185 • Down payment on a payment plan: $255 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Aaliyah

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($180 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • praying for you, Aaliyah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you!

    • You're not alone, Aaliyah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Edinburgh donated after I showed her your page. God bless!

      • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aaliyah.

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gas arrears comes first ($510) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
