Keep the gas on at Walter's home in Shreveport
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Walter needs $650 before September.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $650. 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 $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $650 goes:
• Water arrears: $260
• Reconnection and late fees: $195
• Down payment on a payment plan: $195
If you're reading this, thank you.

It's all in the list in the story. water arrears is the big one at $260, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
