The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $850. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $850 goes:
• Heating arrears: $480
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($275). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.

Hope things get better soon, Brielle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Brielle. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
stay strong, Brielle. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Badagry but we're thinking of you
