Keep the gas on at Kenji's home in Kyoto
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Kenji needs $600 before December.
🇯🇵 JapanPosted Oct 1, 2026328 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $600. 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 $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Kenji's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Heating arrears: $330
• Reconnection and late fees: $90
• Down payment on a payment plan: $180
If you're reading this, thank you.

How is Kenji doing now?
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Alcalá de Henares so I could bring a meal. All the best.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kyoto. I'll ask around and let you know
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Mumbai.
