Gas shut-off notice: help Günter pay $750
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.

a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Berlin. I'll ask around and let you know
This could happen to any of us. Love from Dnipro.
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.
