Keep the gas on at Flávio's home in Rio de Janeiro

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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 $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $145 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Flávio
