Gas shut-off notice: help Andrea pay $950

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Andrea needs $950 before May.

The gas account is 2 months behind. Andrea received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $950 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Andrea called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, 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. Andrea is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Andrea's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $950 goes: • Electricity arrears: $590 • Reconnection and late fees: $115 • Down payment on a payment plan: $245 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
