Heating shut-off notice: help Easton pay $600

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Easton needs $600 before June.

The heating account is 4 months behind. Easton received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Easton called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Easton is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $600 goes: • Gas arrears: $280 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $195 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
