Gas shut-off notice: help Alejandro pay $1,000

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 June's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $145 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through summer 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 Alejandro's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $1,000 goes: • Gas arrears: $590 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $320 Every share and every dollar helps. - Alejandro
