Keep the heating on at Elijah's home in Auckland
Help Elijah cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $550. 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 $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $550 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $200
• Reconnection and late fees: $195
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Elijah. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
