Don't let Oliver's family go through the rainy season without heating
Oliver is behind on heating bills after losing my job in August and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Oliver's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Water arrears: $300
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $140
With deep gratitude,
Oliver

Rooting for you, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Keep going. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Rawalpindi but we're thinking of you. Take care
