The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $1,050. 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 $135 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months 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 Ella's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $1,050 goes: • Gas arrears: $580 • Reconnection and late fees: $175 • Down payment on a payment plan: $295 Glad we found this place. - Ella

Updates from Ella

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 25% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($130 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
