Don't let Amelia's family go through the rainy season without heating
Amelia is behind on heating bills after March's medical emergency and needs $800 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $800. I have never been late before March's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $800 goes:
• Heating arrears: $510
• Reconnection and late fees: $170
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Amelia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
So sorry you're going through this, Amelia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Best of luck, Amelia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of San Jose.
