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

Margaux is behind on heating bills after losing my job in November and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. Margaux received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $600 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in November. Margaux called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Margaux is working on getting back on her 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 $600 goes: • Gas arrears: $350 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $165 Thanks for reading all this. - Louis

Good news. Because of your gifts ($112 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Louis
