Keep the gas on at Grainne's home in Kilkenny

Grainne is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. Grainne received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $650 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Grainne called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Grainne is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Grainne's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Water arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $120 • Down payment on a payment plan: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Maureen

Updates from Maureen

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 32% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Small update. $199 so far, I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.
