Günter is behind on gas bills after losing my job in October and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in October. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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 $750 goes: • Water arrears: $470 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $215 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

        good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Love from Kano.

        • Hang in there, Günter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Badagry this morning. Thinking of Berlin

          • Rooting for you, Günter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Berlin.
