Keep the gas on at Murilo's home in Rio de Janeiro
Murilo is behind on gas bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $200. 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 $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Murilo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utility arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 23 people at work.
Hang in there, Murilo. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Sending strength, Murilo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
Wishing you the best, Murilo. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Love from New Delhi.
shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Calamba.
