The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $1,000. 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 $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Marcus's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Water arrears: $660
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
Every share and every dollar helps.
