Keep the gas on at Chantel's home in George

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Chantel needs $150 before May.

George
The gas account is 3 months behind. Chantel received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Chantel called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Chantel is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 With deep gratitude, Vikash

    Keep going, Vikash. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.

        Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Eldoret.

          Take care. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

            You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

              I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from San Miguel de Tucumán.

                Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chantel

                  good luck, Vikash. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Kano.
