The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in April.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $115
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Teresa
Thank you all. We're at 50% now ($75). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.
43% there. the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Thank you.
Update from Medellín: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Take care, Teresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Teresa. Hope this works out for you. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Teresa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fort Worth.
