Help Arnel with an overdue heating bill before summer
Arnel is behind on heating bills after losing my job in August and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. Arnel received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August.
Arnel 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 three children under ten, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Arnel is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there, Ronnie. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hang in there, Ronnie. Hope this works out for you.
Sending good thoughts, Ronnie. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Makati
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Amsterdam.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Thrissur donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Makati!
Take care, Ronnie. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

Keep going, Ronnie. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Take care, Ronnie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Albany.
Wishing you peace, Ronnie. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Shinjuku so I could bring a meal. Take care
