Keep the gas on at Cameron's home in Austin

Cameron is behind on gas bills after losing my job in July and needs $900 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $900. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Cameron's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: • Heating arrears: $500 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $230 Glad we found this place. - Cameron

Updates from Cameron

  1. Update from Austin: I made the first payment toward heating arrears. We're at 59% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.
