Don't let Iván's family go through the rainy season without gas
Iván is behind on gas bills after August's medical emergency and needs $200 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 November unless I pay $200. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
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 an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Iván's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
With deep gratitude,
Iván

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal. All the best.
