Don't let Francesco's family go through the cold months without heating
Help Francesco cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇮🇹 Puglia, Italy1,710 views
The heating account is 2 months behind. Francesco received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $500 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Francesco called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Francesco is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Francesco's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $195
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Raffaele. This could happen to any of us. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mapo
any update on how things are going in Bari?
Thinking of you, Raffaele. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Raffaele. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Bari.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Francesco?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about electricity arrears, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Raffaele. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. All the best!
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from Soweto.
