The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $550 goes:
• Gas arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $120
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

you're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Jose.
