Keep the gas on at Shirley's home in Toronto
Help Shirley cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $550. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Shirley's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Utility arrears: $220
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $260
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hang in there, Shirley. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shirley
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $220, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Shirley. Looking forward to the next update. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Toronto.
