Help me with an overdue gas bill before winter
Help Jonathan cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $800. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 Jonathan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Utility arrears: $620
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
With deep gratitude,
Jonathan

rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
Stay strong, Jonathan. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jonathan.
Sure. The biggest one is utility arrears, $620. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Any update on how things are going in Sherbrooke?
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sherbrooke
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about utility arrears, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
Looking forward to the next update. After 26 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
Thinking of you, Jonathan. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Benin City!
hope it all works out, Jonathan. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.
