Gas shut-off notice: help Priscila pay $250

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $250. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Priscila's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Utility arrears: $105 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Priscila
