Don't let Vasanthi's family go through winter without heating

The heating account is 2 months behind. Vasanthi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Vasanthi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Vasanthi is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Vasanthi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $25 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Kannan
