Don't let Rashid's family go through the rainy season without heating

Rashid is behind on heating bills after July's medical emergency and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. I have never been late before July's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $10 With deep gratitude, Rashid
