Don't let Harold's family go through summer without heating
Harold is behind on heating bills after losing my job in January and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $950. I have never been late before losing my job in January.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $80 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $950 goes:
• Gas arrears: $640
• Reconnection and late fees: $90
• Down payment on a payment plan: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.
