Keep the gas on at Kelly's home in Caxias do Sul
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Kelly needs $200 before July.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $200. 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 $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months 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 $200 goes:
• Gas arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($261 in total) I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Kelly. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Pretoria
