The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $800. 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 a disabled brother, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Walid's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: โ€ข Utility arrears: $340 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $210 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $250 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Walid

Updates from Walid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($243 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • hang in there, Walid. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
