Howdy all. As some of you are aware, thanks to @Future’s mom, I recently won the Holiday Giveaway. Part of the prize was $1,000.00 in BTC. To close out 2020, I’d like to put that coin to good use. To that end, and because it’s somewhat tangential to my business, I’m going to use it to pay fuel heating bills for some people struggling in Washington state.
Here’s where I need a hand–my contacts in WA are mainly limited to extractors and, while I’d love to give out extraction gas, I think keepings folks warm is a bit more in line with what I’m trying to do. SO, if you know someone that needs help in WA, please drop me a line. Or if you know a gas company that does deliveries or refills in rural WA, that’d be great too.
I’ve been there too. Luckily in Houston it’s just a minor inconvenience to be without gas (it was 70 today ). I’m hoping this will be successful and can be an annual event as we continue to grow and have the ability to give back more.
Oxarc does refills (both for extraction solvents, medical gas and non extraction propane) etc in rural WA. They are who I go to for dry ice, n2 and solvent (when in a pinch and don’t want to wait for shipping)
So I dunno how much help they would be, but LEAP is a national low income assistance program for heating needs. Maybe the WA leap program could point you in a direction.
My family had to depend on LEAP when I was a teen. Good on you for helping people out, being cold sucks.
Luckily things have gotten better for my ma, and my whole family really, but I remember having the heat down as low as we could bear. It wasn’t a great feeling at all.
If you help a few families not have to do that, you’re a rockstar in my book.
