Heating shut-off notice: help Álvaro pay $250

Help Álvaro cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $250. 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 $30 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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 $250 goes: • Water arrears: $135 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 Thanks for being kind about this. - Álvaro
