The gas account is 3 months behind. Gareth received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Gareth called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Gareth is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Gareth's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Water arrears: $95 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Pravin
