Heating shut-off notice: help Uchenna pay $150

The heating account is 3 months behind. Uchenna received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before July's medical emergency. Uchenna called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Uchenna is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Uchenna's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Heating arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 With deep gratitude, Kayode
