On November 11, we were told that Torsten Zakarisson would be forced to sell the house to pay the debt.
When Torsten ended up unemployed, he found it difficult to pay the bills and his application for maintenance support was rejected.
The social administration urged him to "move to another municipality" - and gave Torsten the message that the electricity and heat would be cut off.
Many want to help
Torsten Zakariasson is grateful and touches on all the support he has received from many different sources:
- There has been a huge support from people on Facebook and voluntary aid organizations, for example Helping Angels in Älvsbyn who started a fundraiser for us.
They want to make sure we make it next month as well.
The municipality changed
SVT has sought the head of the social administration in Kiruna, Håkan Dahlqvist, to hear why the municipality has turned to the issue of maintenance support, but we have not been able to reach him.
In the clip, Torsten Zakariasson talks about the message that now allows him and his wife to stay.
