Help Mangesh with an overdue heating bill before the cold months

The heating account is 3 months behind. Mangesh received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before July's medical emergency. Mangesh 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 an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Mangesh is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Mangesh's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Thank you so much. - Nilesh
