Help Shawn with an overdue gas bill before winter

Help Shawn cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Shawn received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $1,050 is paid. He had never been late before March's medical emergency. Shawn 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 disabled brother, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Shawn is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Shawn's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $1,050 goes: • Electricity arrears: $630 • Reconnection and late fees: $210 • Down payment on a payment plan: $210 If you're reading this, thank you. - Genesis
