Don't let Silvia's family go through winter without gas

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $200. 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 $40 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Silvia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Heating arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Silvia
