Gas shut-off notice: help Lei pay $800

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Lei needs $800 before April.

The gas account is 2 months behind. Lei received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Lei called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $195 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Lei is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Lei's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Utility arrears: $500 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $130 Glad we found this place. - Tian
