Don't let Krzysztof's family go through summer without heating
Krzysztof is behind on heating bills after losing my job in June and needs $350 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. Krzysztof received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $350 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in June.
Krzysztof called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Krzysztof is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Krzysztof's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $350 goes:
• Gas arrears: $250
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Krzysztof
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. gas arrears is the biggest at $250. Appreciate you taking the time.
