Help Hüseyin with an overdue heating bill before summer
Hüseyin is behind on heating bills after losing my job in May and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. Hüseyin received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $250 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in May.
Hüseyin called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Hüseyin is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $145
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Dilara. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Rooting for you, Dilara. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
