The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $1,000. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $570
• Reconnection and late fees: $145
• Down payment on a payment plan: $285
With deep gratitude,
Franziska

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Edinburgh.
Keep going, Franziska. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
