Help Wasantha with an overdue heating bill before the rainy season

Wasantha is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. Wasantha received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Wasantha called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Wasantha is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Wasantha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Heating arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wasantha.

    • Udari Chamari RanasingheOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. heating arrears comes first ($80) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
