Don't let Wesley's family go through winter without heating
Wesley is behind on heating bills after losing my job in August and needs $1,050 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $1,050. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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 Wesley's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Gas arrears: $630
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $305
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
any update on how things are going in Louisville?
good luck, Wesley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
sending strength, Wesley. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Fresno.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
