Gas shut-off notice: help Samuele pay $550
Samuele is behind on gas bills after November's medical emergency and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $550. I have never been late before November's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $550 goes:
• Water arrears: $330
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $105
I hope life is good to you.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Messina.
So sorry you're going through this, Samuele. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
