Heating shut-off notice: help Jericho pay $150

The heating account is 3 months behind. Jericho received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before July's medical emergency. Jericho called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, 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. Jericho is working on getting back on his 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 $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Thanks for being kind about this.
