Don't let Barış's family go through summer without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Barış received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Barış called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Barış is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
