Gas shut-off notice: help Luke pay $1,100
Luke is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $1,100 to avoid a shut-off.
Anywhere in the world1,301 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. Luke received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $1,100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Luke called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Luke is working on getting back on his 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 $1,100 goes:
• Water arrears: $610
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $310

Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Best of luck, Elias. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Austin.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luke!
Water arrears is $610 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
