Don't let Jessica's family go through summer without gas
Jessica is behind on gas bills after losing my job in June 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 September unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in June.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through summer 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:
• Heating arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Jessica. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best, Jessica. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Brisbane but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hang in there, Jessica. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Mwanza.
