Keep the gas on at Hira's home in Lahore
Help Hira cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $100. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $100 goes:
• Heating arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Hira
Quick update: $35 raised so far (35%). I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($20 in total) I made the first payment toward heating arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Siliguri.
Hope things get better soon, Hira. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Ikeja.
Thinking of you, Hira. Hope you get there. Sent it to 10 people at work. Thinking of Lahore.
Good luck, Hira. This could happen to any of us. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Lahore.
