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

Lawrence is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $750 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 December unless I pay $750. 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 $105 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 $750 goes: • Gas arrears: $390 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $180 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lawrence

Updates from Lawrence

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($386 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $176 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

    Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Durban donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
