Keep the gas on at Gloria's home in Newcastle

The gas account is 4 months behind. Gloria received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Gloria called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $180 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Gloria is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Gloria's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Water arrears: $400 • Reconnection and late fees: $115 • Down payment on a payment plan: $235 Every share and every dollar helps.
