Don't let Abigail's family go through winter without heating
Help Abigail cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $450. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 $450 goes:
• Utility arrears: $260
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Abigail. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Hope things get better soon, Abigail. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Kolkata!
Good luck, Abigail. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Thinking of you and your family, Abigail. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Abigail. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Anaheim.
Thinking of you and your family, Abigail. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Stellenbosch
keep going. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Anaheim
thinking of you and your family, Abigail. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Latina.
