Help Laiba with an overdue gas bill before summer

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Laiba needs $100 before November.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Laiba received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Laiba called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Laiba 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 $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 Thanks for being kind about this. - Waseem
