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

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $600. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Michelle's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Utility arrears: $310 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $205 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
