Gas shut-off notice: help Mai pay $800
Help Mai cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $800. I have never been late before losing my job in September.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $80 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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 Mai's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Water arrears: $500
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Mai. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
You're not alone, Mai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in León donated after I showed her your page. Love from León
