The heating account is 2 months behind. Gabriela received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Gabriela called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Gabriela is working on getting back on her 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 $250 goes: • Gas arrears: $110 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 I hope life is good to you. - Antônio
