Help Johanna with an overdue heating bill before summer

Help Johanna cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The heating account is 2 months behind. Johanna received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Johanna called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Johanna is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Johanna's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Water arrears: $430 • Reconnection and late fees: $120 • Down payment on a payment plan: $200 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Werner

Updates from Werner

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 64% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 52% now ($388). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Quick update: $100 raised so far (13%). the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Werner
