Keep the electricity on at Moritz's home in Essen
Moritz is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $550. 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 $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $550 goes:
• Gas arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $135
• Down payment on a payment plan: $105
Glad we found this place.

wishing you peace, Moritz. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. All the best.
wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. God bless.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Good luck, Moritz. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you, Moritz. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page. All the best
