Keep the heating on at Eliana's home in Arlington

Eliana is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $800 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $800. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $800 goes: • Utility arrears: $480 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $215 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Eliana

    hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Take care

            Sending strength, Eliana. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Arlington.

            • shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.

              • Thanks for sharing this, Eliana. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you.
