Don't let Heather's family go through the cold months without gas

Heather is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Heather received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $600 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Heather called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Heather is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Heather's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Electricity arrears: $240 • Reconnection and late fees: $175 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 If you're reading this, thank you. - Shirley

      how is Heather doing now?

      • Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of London.

        • wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • So sorry you're going through this, Shirley. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.

            • Sending love. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
