Don't let Lucky's family go through winter without heating

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Lucky needs $150 before November.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November 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 $35 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 Lucky's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 With deep gratitude, Lucky

    Praying for you, Lucky. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

      So sorry you're going through this, Lucky. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
