Keep the heating on at Sara's home in Messina

The heating account is 4 months behind. Sara received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $550 is paid. She had never been late before May's medical emergency. Sara called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Sara is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Sara's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Heating arrears: $260 • Reconnection and late fees: $75 • Down payment on a payment plan: $215 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Domenico
