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

Help Fatima cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. 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 winter 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 $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Fatima
