Don't let Peyton's family go through winter without heating

Peyton is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $750. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $160 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Peyton's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Electricity arrears: $450 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $215 Thank you so much. - Peyton

Updates from Peyton

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 41% funded and I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. - Peyton

  2. Thank you all. We're at 35% now ($265). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
