Don't let Lucas's family go through winter without gas

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Lucas needs $750 before September.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Lucas received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $750 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Lucas called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Lucas is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Lucas's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Heating arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $240 If you're reading this, thank you. - Everett

    Wishing you peace, Everett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
