Keep the heating on at Natalie's home in San Diego
Natalie is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $450 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 December unless I pay $450. 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 $135 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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 Natalie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $450 goes:
• Utility arrears: $230
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $115
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Natalie. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
Take care. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Arlington

Thinking of you and your family, Natalie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone, Natalie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.
Best of luck, Natalie. Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
