Emma is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $650 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 November 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 $190 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, 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 $650 goes: • Electricity arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $130 • Down payment on a payment plan: $150 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Emma
