Gas shut-off notice: help Runa pay $700
Runa is behind on gas bills after July's medical emergency and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom468 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Runa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before July's medical emergency.
Runa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Runa is working on getting back on her 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 $700 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $410
• Reconnection and late fees: $160
• Down payment on a payment plan: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Farhana
Good news. Because of your gifts ($119 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
11% there. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Thank you.
Update from Leeds: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
