Keep the heating on at Josiane's home in Surrey

Help Josiane cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $850. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Josiane's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Water arrears: $440 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $275 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Josiane
