Don't let Đào's family go through winter without gas

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. 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 $20 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Đào's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Đào
