Gas shut-off notice: help Vidya pay $100
Vidya is behind on gas bills after losing my job in April and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in April.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 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 Vidya's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Glad we found this place.

praying for you, Vidya. Shared it with a few friends
Thinking of you and your family, Vidya. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vidya
It's all in the list in the story. water arrears is the big one at $60, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Ikeja.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Dodoma!
thinking of you, Vidya. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
