Keep the gas on at Mio's home in Fukuoka
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Mio needs $450 before November.
🇯🇵 Fukuoka, Japan1,791 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $450. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter 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 $450 goes:
• Heating arrears: $190
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Mio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Stay strong, Mio. Hope this works out for you
Sending love, Mio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Rooting for you, Mio. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Fukuoka
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Üsküdar.
Hope it all works out, Mio. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Vitória da Conquista.
