Keep the heating on at Lillian's home in Greensboro
Lillian is behind on heating bills after losing my job in July and needs $900 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 October unless I pay $900. I have never been late before losing my job in July.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 $900 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $540
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Lillian
Update from Greensboro: I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.
Quick update: $30 raised so far (3%). I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
