Don't let Zhe's family go through winter without heating
Help Zhe cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇦🇺 Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia567 views
The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $800. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Zhe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Heating arrears: $500
• Reconnection and late fees: $135
• Down payment on a payment plan: $165
With deep gratitude,
Zhe

Updates from Zhe
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($81). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

Sending love, Zhe. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Reims donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Stay strong, Zhe. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
You're not alone, Zhe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 14 people at work. Thinking of Wollongong.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zhe.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. heating arrears is the biggest at $500. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Ikeja.
Good luck. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Madina.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Zhe. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
