Heating shut-off notice: help Ivy pay $750
Help Ivy cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇺🇸 Houston, Texas, United States840 views
The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in November.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Ivy's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Heating arrears: $410
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
