Don't let Zoey's family go through the cold months without gas

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Zoey needs $1,000 before August.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $1,000. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 $1,000 goes: • Gas arrears: $590 • Reconnection and late fees: $185 • Down payment on a payment plan: $225 Thanks for reading all this. - Zoey

Updates from Zoey

  1. Thank you all. We're at 87% now ($871). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Quick update: $771 raised so far (77%). I made the first payment toward gas arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($131). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.

        Keep going, Zoey. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Katowice so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Iztapalapa
