Heating shut-off notice: help Brenda pay $650

Help Brenda cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September 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 $165 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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: • Utility arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $165 • Down payment on a payment plan: $265 Thanks for reading all this.
