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

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Zoe needs $700 before August.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $700. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $700 goes: • Water arrears: $500 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $90 With deep gratitude, Zoe

    Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
