Keep the gas on at Sinead's home in Galway
Sinead is behind on gas bills after June's medical emergency and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. Sinead received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $650 is paid. She had never been late before June's medical emergency.
Sinead called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Sinead is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sinead's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $80
• Down payment on a payment plan: $260
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best!
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care
