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

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Ashok's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ashok
