Keep the heating on at Isabella's home in Allentown

Isabella is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $1,050 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 August unless I pay $1,050. 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 $185 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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 $1,050 goes: • Gas arrears: $630 • Reconnection and late fees: $190 • Down payment on a payment plan: $230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Rome but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Rome.

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Allentown.
