Keep the gas on at Alexander's home in Victoria

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $700. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months 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 Alexander's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $700 goes: • Heating arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $255 Glad we found this place.
