Keep the electricity on at Karim's home in Tallahassee
Help Karim cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $850. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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 Karim's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Heating arrears: $540
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $180
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Karim
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Karim. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Karim. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Fez.
Wishing you the best, Karim. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
