Keep the gas on at Jiro's home in Shinjuku
Help Jiro cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $800. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $800 goes:
• Water arrears: $390
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $245
With deep gratitude,
Jiro

is there anything that isn't money that would help Jiro?

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Piraeus
