Heating shut-off notice: help Mercy pay $100

Mercy is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. 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 the cold months 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 $100 goes: • Water arrears: $40 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 With deep gratitude, Mercy

    Hang in there, Mercy. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

      Hang in there, Mercy. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Zanzibar City

        So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
