Don't let Chidi's family go through the rainy season without gas
Chidi is behind on gas bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $100. 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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 $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45

Thank you all. We're at 68% now ($68). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward gas arrears.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Zaria!

Best of luck, Chidi. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 11 people at work. Take care.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Love from Mumbai.
So sorry you're going through this, Chidi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Madina!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Zaria!
Thank you. If you're in Zaria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Zaria
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
