Help Luca with an overdue heating bill before winter
Help Luca cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇺🇸 United States1,039 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. Luca received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $750 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Luca called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, 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.
Luca is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Luca's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Heating arrears: $460
• Reconnection and late fees: $160
• Down payment on a payment plan: $130
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) the plan for heating arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 2% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward heating arrears. More news soon.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Jack. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Philadelphia
