Gas shut-off notice: help Caroline pay $950
Caroline is behind on gas bills after July's medical emergency and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $950. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 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 Caroline's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $530
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $255
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Caroline. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Nairobi.
hope things get better soon, Caroline. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family, Caroline. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
