Keep the gas on at Dilshan's home in Jaffna
Dilshan is behind on gas bills after losing my job in May and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in May.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season 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 $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jaffna.
Thank you. If you're in Jaffna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Sending love, Dilshan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from Manila
sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Keep going, Dilshan. This could happen to any of us. Love from Madurai.
