Electricity shut-off notice: help Selim pay $150
Help Selim cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,522 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $150. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
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 a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Selim's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $45
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kadıköy!
Thank you. If you're in Kadıköy I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
thinking of you and your family, Selim. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you, Selim. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kano
