Application Details

Retiree Utility Bill Help | Cost to fully fund this application: 944.00 Modest Needs Points

I was coerced into retiring five years earlier than I had been planning from a large manufacturing company. Additionally when my two adult children lost their jobs as a result of the ongoing 'recession' they both found it necessary to move back into mom and dad's house with very little income to participate with.

My fixed income and my wife's earnings from a retail shop weren't sufficient to totally support four adults, which resulted in my utility bills becoming delinquent. Additionally, we needed to pay out of pocket for many medical expenses. Your assistance will greatly assist in getting through this heating season and will have a lasting effect on me and my wife.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Having never asked for help for anything financial, I couldn't believe it when I was told that Modest Needs was my best opportunity to receive assistance from. Surely in a short time Modest Needs will become our charity of choice to help support them in all of their good works. Thank you, thank you!! You have provided relief for us when we really needed it.
