Gas shut-off notice: help Thomas pay $700
Help Thomas cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,456 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $700. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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 Thomas's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Utility arrears: $250
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $275
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Thomas
Good news. Because of your gifts ($104 in total) I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
