Don't let Aaliyah's family go through the rainy season without gas

Help Aaliyah cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 3 months behind. Aaliyah received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Aaliyah called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $175 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Aaliyah is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Aaliyah's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Water arrears: $420 • Reconnection and late fees: $200 • Down payment on a payment plan: $180 Glad we found this place. - Adeline

Updates from Adeline

  1. Update from San Diego: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Adeline

      Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
