Gas shut-off notice: help Vy pay $150
Vy is behind on gas bills after losing my job in December and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in December.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vy.
Sure. The biggest one is utility arrears, $85. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Love from Jakarta Barat.
Sending strength, Vy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
