The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $900. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $190 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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 Sophie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: โ€ข Gas arrears: $460 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $185 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $255 Glad we found this place.
