Keep the heating on at Teresa's home in Fort Worth
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Teresa needs $850 before November.
🇺🇸 United States1,563 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. Teresa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $850 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Teresa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Teresa is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Teresa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $520
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $265
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
