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

The gas account is 2 months behind. Karin received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Karin called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Karin is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $750 goes: • Water arrears: $470 • Reconnection and late fees: $175 • Down payment on a payment plan: $105 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lucas
