Don't let Riddhi's family go through the rainy season without gas

Help Riddhi cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 2 months behind. Riddhi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Riddhi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Riddhi is working on getting back on her 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 $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $105 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $25 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Vaibhav

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 74% funded and the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($43 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Sending good thoughts, Vaibhav. This could happen to any of us. God bless.

    • Good luck, Vaibhav. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      • Hope things get better soon, Vaibhav. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. God bless

          • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Riddhi.

            • Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

              • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Riddhi?
