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

Howard is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $750. 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 $150 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $750 goes: • Water arrears: $490 • Reconnection and late fees: $100 • Down payment on a payment plan: $160 Every share and every dollar helps.
