Don't let Murilo's family go through summer without gas

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Murilo needs $300 before November.

The gas account is 3 months behind. Murilo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $300 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Murilo called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Murilo is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $300 goes: • Electricity arrears: $180 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $75 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mariana
