Heating shut-off notice: help Kenji pay $400
Kenji is behind on heating bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $400 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. Kenji received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $400 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Kenji called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Kenji is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Kenji's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $400 goes:
• Heating arrears: $240
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $95

Wishing you the best, Eiji. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Rajkot.
