Heating shut-off notice: help Christopher pay $600
Christopher is behind on heating bills after losing my job in May 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 August unless I pay $600. I have never been late before losing my job in May.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $195 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, 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:
• Gas arrears: $270
• Reconnection and late fees: $120
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Christopher. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Hialeah.
Take care, Christopher. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Christopher. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Hialeah
Best of luck, Christopher. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Take care, Christopher. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning. Blessings
