Heating shut-off notice: help Andrés pay $650

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Andrés needs $650 before November.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $650. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $200 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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 Andrés's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $390 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $195 Every share and every dollar helps. - Andrés
