Keep the gas on at Patrick's home in Los Angeles
Patrick is behind on gas bills after May's medical emergency and needs $750 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 August unless I pay $750. I have never been late before May's medical emergency.
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 three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 $750 goes:
• Gas arrears: $420
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $190
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

you're not alone, Patrick. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
