My name is Lynda, and I'm reaching out for help during a difficult time. I work full time and am a single mother to a 21-year-old who is currently in college. With the cost of propane nearly doubling over the past few years, it's become harder and harder to keep up with the bills. Right now, my propane tank is empty, and I can't get it refilled until I pay off my overdue balance. With snow on the ground and temperatures dropping, it's been a real struggle to keep my home warm.

This situation has been especially tough because, as a mom, I want to provide a safe and comfortable home for my family. The stress of not being able to afford heat, especially during the holidays, has been overwhelming. I can't afford gifts for my family this Christmas—my main concern is just making sure we stay warm and safe.

If you are able to help, it would mean the world to me and my family. Your support would go directly toward paying off my propane bill so I can refill the tank and keep our home warm through the winter. Any amount, big or small, would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping us during this challenging season.
