Don't let Teresa's family go through the cold months without gas
Teresa is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $950. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Teresa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Water arrears: $590
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
Thanks for being kind about this.
