Keep the gas on at Caleb's home in Aberdeen

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Caleb needs $650 before February.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $650. 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 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 Caleb's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $450 • Reconnection and late fees: $80 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Caleb

  1. Small update. $434 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Update from Aberdeen: the plan for heating arrears is now scheduled. We're at 55% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($179 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            Hope it all works out, Caleb. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Kathmandu but we're thinking of you.
