Application Details

Electricity Shut Off | Cost to fully fund this application: 1,300.00 Modest Needs Points

This situation has affected my state of mind in many ways because it has caused hardship on my family. Without electricity, I'm unable to cook for my children or give them a proper bath. It's very hot outside this summer and I am not able to turn on a fan, much less the air conditioner.

Having this bill paid would mean that I would not fall behind on other bills like my rent and car payment. My children and I would have the luxury of having our electricity on. I am unable to get a second job at this time due to my work hours and my children's school schedule. I am a single mom of a two-year-old and a one-year-old, and I have no one else to care for them except for me.

We have no other family or friends that we can go stay or live with, and we would have to stay there without electricity until I would be able to save up enough money. We only have each other and since they cannot work, they just have me, and I feel pretty bad that I cannot take care of this on my own. Time is running out for me in this matter, so I'm requesting your help, please. If anybody is able to help me and my babies, we will greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your time in this urgent matter.
