The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $600. I have never been late before February's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 $600 goes: • Water arrears: $250 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $180 Thank you for reading my story.
