The gas account is 2 months behind. Elias received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $850 is paid. He had never been late before August's medical emergency. Elias called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $195 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Elias is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Elias's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Gas arrears: $480 • Reconnection and late fees: $185 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 Thank you so much.

due date: 2025-11-23
bill type: Utility arrears
