Don't let Joyce's family go through winter without heating
Joyce is behind on heating bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter 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 Joyce's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
With deep gratitude,
Joyce

Hang in there, Joyce. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Dortmund so I could bring a meal. Take care
Thinking of you, Joyce. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Davao City
take care, Joyce. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Best of luck, Joyce. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Wishing you the best, Joyce. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Joyce. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Davao City.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Madurai.
gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Quezon City
You're not alone, Joyce. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Davao City.
