Don't let Viola's family go through the rainy season without gas
Help Viola cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇮🇹 Italy1,505 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Viola received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $550 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August.
Viola called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Viola is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Viola's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $300
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $190
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Ugo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Ugo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Catania
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
