Gas shut-off notice: help Shrijana pay $100
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Shrijana needs $100 before October.
Anywhere in the world442 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 Shrijana's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Update from Pokhara: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 45% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pokhara
Thank you. If you're in Pokhara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shrijana!
Utility arrears is $60 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you and your family, Shrijana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Cartagena.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 35 people at work. Love from Bandung.
hang in there, Shrijana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Pokhara
Any update on how things are going in Pokhara?
