Heating shut-off notice: help Amanda pay $250
Amanda is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $250 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 April unless I pay $250. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months 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:
• Utility arrears: $180
• Reconnection and late fees: $35
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Amanda. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
sending strength, Amanda. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
