Keep the gas on at Luana's home in São Paulo

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $150. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Luana's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $90 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Luana
