Don't let Fatima's family go through summer without gas

Fatima is behind on gas bills after April's medical emergency and needs $800 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $800. I have never been late before April's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $800 goes: • Electricity arrears: $380 • Reconnection and late fees: $155 • Down payment on a payment plan: $265 If you're reading this, thank you.
