Keep the gas on at Daiki's home in Nagoya
Help Daiki cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $550. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $550 goes:
• Heating arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $80
• Down payment on a payment plan: $160
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Nagoya.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Nagoya.
Thinking of you, Daiki. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Lagos.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Takoradi but we're thinking of you.
