Heating shut-off notice: help Lidia pay $200

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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 Lidia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Heating arrears: $125 • Reconnection and late fees: $40 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Thanks for reading all this. - Lidia
