Keep the gas on at Sofía's home in Sacramento

Help Sofía cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $700. I have never been late before losing my job in September. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through winter without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $700 goes: • Electricity arrears: $480 • Reconnection and late fees: $140 • Down payment on a payment plan: $80 With deep gratitude, Sofía
