Keep the gas on at Esteban's home in Mar del Plata
Esteban is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. 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 $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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 $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $130
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Esteban
Good news. Because of your gifts ($182 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $92 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Esteban
Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.

Hope it all works out, Esteban. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kinondoni
