Keep the heating on at Gabriel's home in Burnaby

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $750. 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 $120 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 $750 goes: • Electricity arrears: $310 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $260 Every share and every dollar helps.
