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

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $600. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
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 two young children, and going through summer 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:
• Heating arrears: $260
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
I hope life is good to you.

sending love, Leon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
