Keep the heating on at Oskar's home in Warsaw

Oskar is behind on heating bills after losing my job in December and needs $250 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 March unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in December. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $250 goes: • Utility arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $105 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Oskar

              Thanks for sharing this, Oskar. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
