Keep the gas on at Renata's home in Belo Horizonte
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Renata needs $250 before May.

The gas account is 2 months behind. Renata received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $250 is paid. She had never been late before February's medical emergency.
Renata called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Renata is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Renata's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Water arrears: $180
• Reconnection and late fees: $35
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Daniela
Quick update: $110 raised so far (44%). the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($105 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings!
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care
