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

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

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in June. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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 Maya's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Gas arrears: $430 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 With deep gratitude, Maya

Updates from Maya

  1. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Maya
