Heating shut-off notice: help William pay $850

Help William cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $850. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $190 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter 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 William's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Water arrears: $540 • Reconnection and late fees: $190 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - William
