Don't let Adrian's family go through winter without heating
Adrian is behind on heating bills after losing my job in February and needs $450 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $450. I have never been late before losing my job in February.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $80 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Adrian's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $450 goes:
• Heating arrears: $260
• Reconnection and late fees: $75
• Down payment on a payment plan: $115

Updates from Adrian
Update from Belfast: the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. We're at 66% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $187 so far, I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.

Rooting for you, Adrian. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Celaya this morning. God bless.
Good luck, Adrian. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Belfast.
Hope things get better soon, Adrian. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Aurangabad
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Riyadh.
