Don't let Nadia's family go through summer without gas
Nadia is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Nadia received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Nadia called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Nadia is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Nadia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $120
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Kagiso. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg
