Keep the gas on at André's home in São Paulo

The gas account is 3 months behind. André received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. André 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 a newborn, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. André is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in André's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Gas arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $75 If you're reading this, thank you.
