Don't let Anaïs's family go through summer without heating

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Anaïs needs $650 before September.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $650. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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 Anaïs's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $520 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      You're not alone, Anaïs. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
