Keep the heating on at Noemi's home in Venice
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Noemi needs $400 before November.
🇮🇹 Venice, Veneto, Italy944 views
The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $400. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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 $400 goes:
• Utility arrears: $165
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Noemi
Wanted to say thank you properly. 31% funded and I made the first payment toward utility arrears.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($99 in total) I made the first payment toward utility arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noemi
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $165, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Karachi.
how is Noemi doing now?
take care. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this, Noemi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Thinking of you, Noemi. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from Chennai.
thinking of you and your family, Noemi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Sheffield
