Don't let Sampath's family go through the cold months without heating

The heating account is 2 months behind. Sampath received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Sampath called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Sampath is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Sampath's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Kumari
