The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $400. I have never been late before losing my job in February. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $400 goes: • Utility arrears: $195 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $115 Thank you so much.

  1. Small update. $250 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($240). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for utility arrears is now scheduled.
