The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $950. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Avery's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Heating arrears: $530
• Reconnection and late fees: $170
• Down payment on a payment plan: $250
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Avery
Good news. Because of your gifts ($172 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
