Keep the gas on at Sadie's home in Houston
Sadie is behind on gas bills after August's medical emergency and needs $700 to avoid a shut-off.
🇺🇸 United States1,953 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. Sadie received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Sadie called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Sadie is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sadie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $265
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
