Gas shut-off notice: help Ruth pay $200
Help Ruth cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $120
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Ruth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kisumu.
