Don't let Peter's family go through winter without electricity
Help Peter cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇩🇪 Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany1,603 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. Peter received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Peter called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Peter is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Peter's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Heating arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65

Take care, Paul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Mannheim.
