Help John Paul with an overdue heating bill before summer
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and John Paul needs $150 before October.

The heating account is 4 months behind. John Paul received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
John Paul called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
John Paul is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in John Paul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Heating arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. Hope you get there. Sent it to 13 people at work.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Ballarat but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Bea. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of San Fernando
Best of luck, Bea. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
good luck, Bea. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Fernando.
