The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $250. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through winter 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Mariana's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $170 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Thanks for reading all this.

due date: 2026-07-22
bill type: Utility arrears

Updates from Mariana

Thank you all. We're at 73% now ($183). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 57% funded and the plan for heating arrears is now scheduled.
Update from São Paulo: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
