Heating shut-off notice: help Ravi pay $55
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Ravi needs $55 before October.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $55. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
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 two young children, 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 Ravi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $55 goes:
• Gas arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Ravi
Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward gas arrears.
Update from Coimbatore: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 51% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Keep going, Ravi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Bogotá.
