Heating shut-off notice: help Joaquim pay $250
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Joaquim needs $250 before April.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $250. I have never been late before December's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Joaquim's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Heating arrears: $135
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $85
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from Nijmegen.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Hang in there, Joaquim. Hope this works out for you
