Heating shut-off notice: help Brian pay $600

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Brian needs $600 before March.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $600. 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 $115 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 $600 goes: • Heating arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Brian

Updates from Brian

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 100% funded and we've started the first stage.

  2. Small update. $217 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($142 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    You're not alone. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of London

      I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update

        Sending love, Brian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
