My family of nine, along with our pets, recently faced a terrifying gas leak caused by an old service line. The leak was so severe that it nearly cost us our lives, and we had to act quickly to keep everyone safe. After working to address the gas issue, we discovered that all of our water lines throughout the house need to be replaced. This has left us struggling to provide basic necessities for our children and pets.

Right now, we have no heat source because our only heat is a gas fireplace, and our stove is also gas, making cooking much harder. We’ve had to shut off our water due to a fast leak, so we don’t have running water to wash laundry, do dishes, or take showers. Our water heater is gas as well, so there’s no hot water. Fixing the gas and water lines will restore heat, allow us to cook nutritious meals, and bring back running water for laundry, dishes, and showers. We have received quotes for repairs but are still looking around to find something more affordable. It will make our home safe and comfortable again for our family.

Any help we receive would mean so much! With your support, we could focus on school, make sure the kids’ bellies are full, and get back to regular hot showers. We are deeply grateful for any support, big or small, as it will help us rebuild and keep our family safe.
