Gas shut-off notice: help Lan pay $150
Lan is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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 $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Aurangabad.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Yekaterinburg this morning. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
Hope it all works out, Lan. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Gwangju so I could bring a meal
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Blessings.
best of luck, Lan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from San Jose!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lan
Utility arrears is $85 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
So sorry you're going through this, Lan. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Lan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Winston-Salem.
Thanks for sharing this, Lan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bogotá.
Take care, Lan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Thinking of you, Lan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Take care, Lan. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
sending strength, Lan. Your post was clear and honest. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
