Istanbul

The gas account is 4 months behind. Esra received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Esra called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Esra is working on getting back on her 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: • Gas arrears: $145 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $70 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Eren

Updates from Eren

Update from Istanbul: I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. We're at 62% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $116 so far, the plan for gas arrears is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($76). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.

Wishing you the best, Eren. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
