Don't let Tshepo's family go through the rainy season without gas

Help Tshepo cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $150. I have never been late before June's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $25 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Tshepo

        Stay strong, Tshepo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ikeja.
