The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $750. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $750 goes:
• Gas arrears: $500
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
Thanks for reading all this.

You're not alone, Abigail. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kingston.
Thanks for sharing this, Abigail. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Charlotte.
Thinking of you and your family, Abigail. Hope you get there
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Keep going, Abigail. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
