Heating shut-off notice: help Miles pay $650
Miles is behind on heating bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $650. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Miles's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Heating arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
Thank you for reading my story.
