Don't let Clara's family go through the rainy season without heating
Clara is behind on heating bills after January's medical emergency and needs $550 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 February unless I pay $550. I have never been late before January's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $175 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $550 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Multan.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Setagaya so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Clara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Clara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Zagazig.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Eugene
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Mumbai
stay strong, Clara. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
