Keep the gas on at Patrick's home in Boulogne-Billancourt

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $650. 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 $80 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $650 goes: • Water arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $205 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
