Keep the gas on at Pravin's home in Paarl

A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Pravin needs $250 before January.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in September. 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 parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $250 goes: • Electricity arrears: $140 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $75 Glad we found this place. - Pravin

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Love from Pelotas.

      So sorry you're going through this, Pravin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Piraeus.
