Keep the gas on at Ivy's home in Erie
Ivy is behind on gas bills after a reduction in hours and needs $1,050 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $1,050. 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 $195 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 $1,050 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $740
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $215
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Orlando.
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Praying for you, Ivy. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Savannah.
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Ivy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
