Don't let Benjamin's family go through summer without gas
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Benjamin needs $1,000 before October.
🇺🇸 Dallas, Texas, United States1,602 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Benjamin received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $1,000 is paid. He had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Benjamin called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Benjamin is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Water arrears: $550
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $285
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Dallas.
so sorry you're going through this, Kinsley. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 15 people at work.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Dallas
Sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
