Heating shut-off notice: help Logan pay $800

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $800. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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. 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: • Electricity arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $200 • Down payment on a payment plan: $230 Thanks for being kind about this.
