Heating shut-off notice: help Emre pay $750

The heating account is 2 months behind. Emre received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $750 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Emre called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Emre is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Emre's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Heating arrears: $470 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $195 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Barış
