Help Aoife with an overdue heating bill before the cold months

The heating account is 3 months behind. Aoife received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $850 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Aoife called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Aoife is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Aoife's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Water arrears: $490 • Reconnection and late fees: $75 • Down payment on a payment plan: $285 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sinead
