Gas shut-off notice: help Hellen pay $100
Hellen is behind on gas bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $100 goes:
• Heating arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $10
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Hellen
Quick update: $23 raised so far (23%). I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($14 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
