Don't let Alejandra's family go through the cold months without gas
Alejandra is behind on gas bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $500. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without gas 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 $500 goes:
• Utility arrears: $240
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Alejandra. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
