Gas shut-off notice: help Yash pay $550
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Yash needs $550 before November.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,176 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. Yash received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in July.
Yash called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $95 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Yash is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Yash's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Heating arrears: $300
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $195
With deep gratitude,
Rahul

Updates from Rahul
Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($144). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $89 so far, I made the first payment toward heating arrears.

Wishing you peace, Rahul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Barranquilla.
