Keep the heating on at Brooklyn's home in Los Angeles
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Brooklyn needs $750 before April.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States918 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $750. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Brooklyn's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $360
• Reconnection and late fees: $160
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
Thank you so much.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Los Angeles
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about water arrears, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you and your family, Brooklyn. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brooklyn
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. water arrears is the biggest at $360. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from San Francisco.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Oakland
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Albany donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Los Angeles.
you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
