Keep the heating on at Helene's home in Munich
Helene is behind on heating bills after losing my job in February and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $600. I have never been late before losing my job in February.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $150 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without heating 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $600 goes:
• Water arrears: $350
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Helene.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. water arrears comes first ($350) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck, Helene. I hope things turn around soon.
Rooting for you, Helene. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
