Heating shut-off notice: help Sheldon pay $250
Help Sheldon cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
Anywhere in the world857 views
The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $250. I have never been late before March's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $140
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sheldon?
Thank you. If you're in Mandeville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Gazipur
How is Sheldon doing now?
sending love, Sheldon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Jakarta.
Rooting for you, Sheldon. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Kampala
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Stuttgart
So sorry you're going through this, Sheldon. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Manchester.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sheldon
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utility arrears is the biggest at $140. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope things get better soon, Sheldon. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Take care, Sheldon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Embakasi.
Take care. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Jakarta
Hope things get better soon, Sheldon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

Your post was clear and honest. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Hialeah.
