Gas shut-off notice: help Jyoti pay $100

The gas account is 2 months behind. Jyoti received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Jyoti called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Jyoti 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 $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Vandana
