The CITGO - Venezuela Heating Oil Program helps families during the winter cold. Here are some of their testimonials.

"This takes your breath away, and I am thrilled that our clients can take advantage of it. We serve more than 550 families, some elderly, some working poor, all in need of help. I'm happy to say that with this discount, no one has to choose between staying warm or paying for food or rent. It has made a real difference in their lives. We all need to watch out for our neighbors, to make sure they're not cold. CITGO has been a very good neighbor to us."

East Providence, RI

I’m 21 years old and I live with my two children. I’m a full-time student in community college. The heating assistance program helped me because I didn’t have to pay for my fuel oil this year. That meant that I could spend that money on my children, for their food, clothing, their diapers and the extra activities that I do with them. We greatly appreciate the CITGO fuel assistance program. It helps people that don’t have a high income, like myself. Thank you"

"I’m Colleen Cooper and I’ve lived my whole life here on the reservation and since 1977 in this house. I live with my 15-year-old daughter, Paige, am enrolled in community college, and am studying liberal arts. I have one more semester to go to get my degree. This house is so cold we can’t walk around in it barefooted, and we’ve had to use the stove for heat. We were informed by the tribal administrators about the CITGO program and we’re really thankful for this help. We want to say, “Thank you very much for the help we’ve received."
