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

Carolina is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 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 September unless I pay $150. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. 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 two young children, 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 Carolina's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $40 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Hope things get better soon, Carolina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Los Angeles.
