Gas shut-off notice: help Zenaida pay $150

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Zenaida's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $95 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $25 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Zenaida
