Gas shut-off notice: help Lydia pay $700
Lydia is behind on gas bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $700. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months 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 Lydia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Heating arrears: $390
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $145
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Lydia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together.
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Salvador but we're thinking of you!
Stay strong, Lydia. Hope you get there
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Toronto
