Gas shut-off notice: help Josiah pay $600
Josiah is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,020 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $600. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Josiah's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $290
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $205
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Josiah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of London.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of London!
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ekurhuleni.
