Keep the heating on at Declan's home in Dallas

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $500. 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 $125 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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 Declan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $500 goes: • Water arrears: $260 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 If you're reading this, thank you. - Declan
