Heating shut-off notice: help Hassan pay $500

Help Hassan cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The heating account is 4 months behind. Hassan received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $500 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in September. Hassan called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 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. Hassan is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Hassan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $500 goes: • Gas arrears: $300 • Reconnection and late fees: $60 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 I hope life is good to you.
