Don't let Rafaela'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 September unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in July. 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 three children under ten, 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 Rafaela's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Electricity arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $110 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rafaela
