Keep the gas on at Pedro's home in Bogotá
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Pedro needs $250 before October.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $250. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Pedro's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Heating arrears: $160
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Pedro
Update from Bogotá: we've started the first stage. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($49). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for heating arrears is now scheduled.

Hope it all works out. 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.
