Don't let Ingrid's family go through summer without gas
Ingrid is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $300 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $300. 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 $50 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $300 goes:
• Utility arrears: $155
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $85
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Ingrid. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Campinas.
Thinking of you and your family, Ingrid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Hyderabad.
sending good thoughts, Ingrid. Looking forward to the next update.
so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care!
