Keep the heating on at Józef's home in Poznań
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Józef needs $300 before March.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $300. I have never been late before November's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without heating 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 $300 goes:
• Heating arrears: $165
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $95

Good luck, Józef. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
