Gas shut-off notice: help Emily pay $600
Help Emily cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,653 views
The gas account is 2 months behind. Emily received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $600 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August.
Emily called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, 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.
Emily is working on getting back on her 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 $600 goes:
• Water arrears: $400
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $145

So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Isaiah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Bristol.
Keep going, Isaiah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care
