The gas account is 2 months behind. Valentin received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $800 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Valentin called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Valentin is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Valentin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Water arrears: $530 • Reconnection and late fees: $75 • Down payment on a payment plan: $195 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
