Don't let John's family go through the rainy season without heating
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and John needs $100 before October.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. 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 $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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 $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.
