Keep the electricity on at Rainer's home in Munich

Help Rainer cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $700. 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 $80 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Rainer's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $700 goes: โ€ข Heating arrears: $380 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $135 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $185 Thank you for reading my story. - Rainer
