Help me with an overdue heating bill before the cold months

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Babu needs $150 before February.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $150. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Babu's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Take care, Babu. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Paris this morning. All the best
