Don't let Maeve's family go through winter without heating
Help Maeve cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $700. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $700 goes:
• Heating arrears: $350
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $285
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Maeve. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maeve
Sure. The biggest one is heating arrears, $350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
thanks for sharing this, Maeve. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update.
how is Maeve doing now?
You're not alone, Maeve. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kathmandu.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
