Gas shut-off notice: help Aarón pay $1,000
Help Aarón cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,529 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $1,000. 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 $170 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Utility arrears: $690
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $200
Thanks for reading all this.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Veracruz this morning.
so sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
Thanks for sharing this, Aarón. Hope this works out for you. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
