Keep the gas on at Cristiane's home in Uberlândia

Cristiane is behind on gas bills after losing my job in August and needs $300 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $300. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $300 goes: • Utility arrears: $130 • Reconnection and late fees: $60 • Down payment on a payment plan: $110 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
