Keep the heating on at Liza's home in Detroit

Liza is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $850 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 November unless I pay $850. 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 $115 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Liza's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Water arrears: $580 • Reconnection and late fees: $175 • Down payment on a payment plan: $95 With deep gratitude, Liza

Updates from Liza

  1. Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($135). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for water arrears is now scheduled.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
