Help Berk with an overdue heating bill before the rainy season
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Berk needs $150 before June.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye780 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. Berk received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Berk called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Berk is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Berk's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30

You're not alone, Ahmet. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Wishing you the best, Ahmet. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Pune
