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

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 losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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 Paul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
