“What I need help with is paying for my
propane. I use my propane to heat up the
house. When my children come home from
school they come home to a cold house,
because I would rather have my kids have
a heated home when they shower and
before they go to bed”
“…we have to pay for the gas to run our
stoves and heat water. That is about $300-
400/month”
“We need help with the electricity bill. The
bills are very high due to our housing not
having energy efficient appliances. Our
window are old. Our apartments in the
complex are old and need to be worked
on.”
ELECTRICITY/GAS
FOOD
“I am going shopping but buying less. I
only buy the minimum food needed. I am
not receiving notices on where to get the
food from the food bank. The food bank
does not give food out locally, only in San
Joaquin [nearby small city].”
“Many people here are undocumented and
are selling food stamps to pay for rent. I go
to the food give away twice a month and
the Food Bank at the church. It also needs
to get to households with undocumented
people.”
WATER BILLS “The water issue has been the scam
for many of us. We pay for water that
is not drinkable. Although we pay for
the water, we always find ourselves
having to pay for bottled water.”
“Water comes from San Luis
Reservoir, water from the Canal.
Manning/Derrick Avenue.
Increase in water bill to
$280.00/mo for water. Very
expensive and needs assistance
along with other bills”
“I have to purchase my water. For the
past 4 years I have been buying water.
The water here is contaminated and
even still I pay around $115/month for
water. On top of that I pay $7.50/week
and around $30/month for bottled water.
Every 8 days I purchase around 5
gallons for myself and my family. Also
there is not enough water for the farms
so there is less work.”
HEALTH CARE
“Went to apply for assistance but due to
my legal status I did not qualify.”
“My family and I are not enrolled in medi-
cal or any health care plan.”
“I stopped going to the dentist. I have high
blood pressure. The local clinic fees are
$65.00 per visit. [I am] diabetic and have a
bill for $631.00 and no money to pay the
bill.”
