Keep the gas on at Yuki's home in Osaka

Help Yuki cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 3 months behind. Yuki received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $650 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Yuki called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Yuki is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Yuki's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $430 • Reconnection and late fees: $140 • Down payment on a payment plan: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Yui

  1. Small update. $390 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($130). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  • Wishing you peace, Yui. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

      any update on how things are going in Osaka?

      • So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

        • hope things get better soon, Yui. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
