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

Help Pilar 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 December unless I pay $800. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 Pilar's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Water arrears: $580 • Reconnection and late fees: $100 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 If you're reading this, thank you. - Pilar

Updates from Pilar

  1. Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($445). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.
