Heating shut-off notice: help Patricia pay $800
Patricia is behind on heating bills after losing my job in July and needs $800 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 $800. I have never been late before losing my job in July.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Patricia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $570
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $135
Every share and every dollar helps.

take care, Patricia. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Rooting for you, Patricia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Iztapalapa.
Hope things get better soon, Patricia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Yonkers!
Sending strength, Patricia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
