Help Emery with an overdue gas bill before the rainy season
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Emery needs $950 before November.
🇺🇸 United States1,328 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. Emery received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $950 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August.
Emery called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Emery is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $950 goes:
• Gas arrears: $590
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $275
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Cape Coast.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Wishing you the best, Maria. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless!
