Don't let Yumi's family go through summer without heating

Yumi is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $650. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $650 goes: • Electricity arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 I hope life is good to you. - Yumi

Updates from Yumi

  1. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($154). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Nagoya: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
