Don't let Sadie's family go through winter without heating
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Sadie needs $600 before August.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $600. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $600 goes:
• Gas arrears: $220
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $275
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
