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

The heating account is 4 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 my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Karim's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Karim
