Gas shut-off notice: help Janet pay $800

Help Janet cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 2 months behind. Janet received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before April's medical emergency. Janet called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Janet 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 $800 goes: • Water arrears: $460 • Reconnection and late fees: $160 • Down payment on a payment plan: $180 Thank you for reading my story.
