Gas shut-off notice: help Bruno pay $250
Bruno is behind on gas bills after losing my job in August and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.
🇧🇷 Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil418 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Bruno received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $250 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August.
Bruno called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Bruno is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Water arrears: $155
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
Best of luck, Sandra. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Sending love, Sandra. Hope this works out for you
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 35 people at work. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 16 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Zaria this morning. God bless.
Hang in there, Sandra. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Guarulhos
sending strength, Sandra. Shared this with my family. Love from Mukono
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Guarulhos
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal.
