Gas shut-off notice: help Sheila pay $200
Help Sheila 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 November unless I pay $200. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
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 two young children, 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.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sheila's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Gas arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
