Help Marta with an overdue heating bill before winter

The heating account is 4 months behind. Marta received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $300 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Marta called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Marta is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Marta's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $300 goes: • Gas arrears: $125 • Reconnection and late fees: $75 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
