The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $750. 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 $70 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Benjamin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Electricity arrears: $440 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

due date: 2026-11-30
bill type: Utility arrears
