Help Raymond with an overdue gas bill before the rainy season
Help Raymond cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States2,178 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Raymond received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $800 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Raymond called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Raymond is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Raymond's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Utility arrears: $410
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $180
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Raymond?
Thank you. If you're in Fresno I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
keep going, Luke. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Fresno.
Hope it all works out, Luke. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
So sorry you're going through this, Luke. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Curitiba.
