Help Risa with an overdue gas bill before summer

The gas account is 3 months behind. Risa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $600 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August. Risa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Risa is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Risa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Water arrears: $360 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $145 With deep gratitude, Chihiro
