Keep the heating on at Brooklyn's home in Los Angeles

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Brooklyn needs $750 before April.

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. - Brooklyn

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about water arrears, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.

          Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Albany donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Los Angeles.
