Gas shut-off notice: help Shanice pay $250
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Shanice needs $250 before January.
Anywhere in the world258 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Shanice received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Shanice called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Shanice is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Shanice's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $120
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $75
Thanks for reading all this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Spanish Town!
Thank you. If you're in Spanish Town I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Tema.
how is Shanice doing now?
Sending strength, Beverley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mohammedia this morning. Greetings from Mohammedia.
hope it all works out, Beverley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Take care, Beverley. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Ottawa.
