Don't let Patrícia's family go through the rainy season without gas
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Patrícia needs $250 before August.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $250. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Heating arrears: $165
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
