Don't let Malak's family go through the rainy season without gas
Help Malak cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $950. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Malak's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $660
• Reconnection and late fees: $170
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Malak. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal.
thinking of you and your family, Malak. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Ludhiana.
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Bacolod!
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Malak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Sending strength, Malak. Hope this works out for you.
