Gas shut-off notice: help Salim pay $150

The gas account is 2 months behind. Salim received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Salim called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Salim is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Salim's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
