Keep the gas on at Yolanda's home in Madrid

Help Yolanda cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $350. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months 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 $350 goes: • Heating arrears: $175 • Reconnection and late fees: $75 • Down payment on a payment plan: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yolanda!

      • Yolanda P. CruzOwnerAnswer

        Heating arrears is $175 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • Ssebuliba Brian Waweru

      hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
