Heating shut-off notice: help Lillian pay $800

Help Lillian cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $800. I have never been late before May's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $145 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $800 goes: • Utility arrears: $550 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $160 With deep gratitude, Lillian

  1. Update from Orlando: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
