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

The gas account is 4 months behind. Elena received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Elena called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Elena is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Elena's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 Thank you so much. - Maricel
