Heating shut-off notice: help Obinna pay $100
Obinna is behind on heating bills after August's medical emergency and needs $100 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 November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Obinna's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 135% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
We're at 90% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. More news soon. - Obinna
Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Dnipro donated after I showed her your page.
