Keep the gas on at Rahima's home in Dhaka

Rahima is behind on gas bills after losing my job in May and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. Rahima received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in May. Rahima called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Rahima is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mohammad

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahima.

      Gas arrears is $60 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

  • Lovely G. Galang

    keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Dublin

      You're not alone, Mohammad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

      • Guadalupe K. Guerrero

        So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
