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

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Ryan needs $900 before November.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $900. 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 $145 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Ryan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: • Heating arrears: $600 • Reconnection and late fees: $200 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
