Don't let Jihan's family go through the cold months without heating
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Jihan needs $150 before November.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Jihan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Jihan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($77 in total) the plan for gas arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Sending strength, Jihan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Kano.
