Keep the heating on at Arianna's home in Toledo
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Arianna needs $650 before October.
🇺🇸 Toledo, Ohio, United States993 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. Arianna received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $650 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Arianna called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $80 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Arianna is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Arianna's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Gas arrears: $440
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Iași donated after I showed her your page. Love from Iași!
Sending strength, Sophie. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arianna
Gas arrears is $440 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Good luck, Sophie. Shared it with a few friends.
Good luck, Sophie. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Savar so I could bring a meal. God bless
