The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $150. I have never been late before January's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $150 goes: • Water arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Mai

  1. Thank you all. We're at 47% now ($71). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Thinking of you, Mai. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 35 people at work. Thinking of Hanoi.
