The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $700. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Rui's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Utility arrears: $340
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $220

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rui.
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $340, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Keep going, Rui. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
