Help Kimberly with an overdue gas bill before winter
Kimberly is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $750 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Kimberly received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Kimberly 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. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Kimberly 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 $750 goes:
• Utility arrears: $340
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kimberly.
Sure. The biggest one is utility arrears, $340. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Los Angeles.
