Heating shut-off notice: help Caoimhe pay $600
Caoimhe is behind on heating bills after losing my job in August and needs $600 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 October unless I pay $600. 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 $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Caoimhe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Gas arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $75
• Down payment on a payment plan: $215
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Caoimhe. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kilkenny
