Don't let Gayathri's family go through winter without gas
Gayathri is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $150 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 November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
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 disabled brother, 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:
• Utility arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Dhaka.
Wishing you the best, Gayathri. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Prayagraj.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gayathri.
Sure. The biggest one is utility arrears, $65. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there, Gayathri. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kilkenny.
best of luck, Gayathri. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
So sorry you're going through this, Gayathri. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Nnewi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Jakarta

Hang in there, Gayathri. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Gayathri. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
