Keep the heating on at Oliver's home in Sheffield
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Oliver needs $800 before November.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $800. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Oliver's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Utility arrears: $490
• Reconnection and late fees: $155
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
