The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $800. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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 Travis's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Electricity arrears: $640 • Reconnection and late fees: $60 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 Every share and every dollar helps. - Travis

      Thank you. If you're in Shreveport I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

  • Best of luck, Travis. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.

    • Sending good thoughts, Travis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

      • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Nairobi.

        • Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.

          • Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

            • Thinking of you, Travis. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Kisumu so I could bring a meal. Take care.
