Heating shut-off notice: help Qiang pay $650

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $650. I have never been late before July's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Qiang's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $330 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Qiang
