Don't let Sergio's family go through the rainy season without gas
Sergio is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $1,050 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $1,050. 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 $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $1,050 goes:
• Utility arrears: $550
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $325
With deep gratitude,
Sergio

Good luck, Sergio. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
