Don't let Senait's family go through summer without gas

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Senait needs $100 before September.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Senait received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Senait 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 two young children, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Senait is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Senait's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Water arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Almaz
