Keep the gas on at Lincoln's home in Los Angeles
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Lincoln needs $750 before August.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,130 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. Lincoln received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $750 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Lincoln called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Lincoln is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Lincoln's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Utility arrears: $380
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $240
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon, Lawrence. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Leeds.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending good thoughts, Lawrence. Hope this works out for you. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
