Keep the heating on at Ethan's home in Toronto
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Ethan needs $850 before November.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $850. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
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 newborn, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $850 goes:
• Water arrears: $510
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $225
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Ethan. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
