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

The heating account is 3 months behind. Marcos received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August. Marcos called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Marcos is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $200 goes: • Gas arrears: $90 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $75 Thank you for reading my story.
