Help Graciela with an overdue heating bill before summer
Graciela is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. Graciela received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Graciela called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $180 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Graciela is working on getting back on her 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 $700 goes:
• Gas arrears: $360
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $175
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Natalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Keep going, Natalia. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Manila.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Sacramento.
You're not alone, Natalia. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Natalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
