Don't let Benjamin's family go through the cold months without gas

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Benjamin needs $700 before June.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $700. 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 $110 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Benjamin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $700 goes: • Heating arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $250 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Benjamin
