Keep the gas on at Paul's home in Mississauga
Help Paul cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada638 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $950. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Paul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $580
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $205
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Paul
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($142). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward electricity arrears.

Wishing you the best, Paul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Mississauga
