Gas shut-off notice: help Prasad pay $100

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. 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 a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Prasad's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $55 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 I hope life is good to you. - Prasad
