Don't let Cameron's family go through the rainy season without gas
Help Cameron cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $750. I have never been late before losing my job in June.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $175 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $750 goes:
• Water arrears: $330
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $240
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Cameron. Hope you get there.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Caloocan
hope it all works out, Cameron. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Lexington
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Aurangabad.
Sending good thoughts, Cameron. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you the best, Cameron. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Take care.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of San Jose.
