The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $150. I have never been late before January's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 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 $150 goes: • Water arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $25 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
