Application Details

Not enough work | Cost to fully fund this application: 285.00 Modest Needs Points

Dear Sirs; I have lived at this address for over 15 years. I've always worked. My work as a Stage Hand has not been consistent in the last 2 years. My health had not been unfavorable as well.

TECO Electric asked for and received a 200.00 deposit in addition to a payment of 168.79 within a one month period leaving a balance of 236.89. This has created a financial squeeze causing sudden difficulty since my Unemployment Insurance payments have only been 101.00 per week and has been recently exhausted.

I may be returning to some minimum amount of work soon. (Car Show, for one, coming up at the Tampa Convention Center Soon.) At the age of 79, I face the challenge of keeping my reluctant joints active (smile) but I continue on. My food bills and other immediate obligations are critical and severe at this time.

I've never sought assistance before but I Humbly and Respectfully do so at this time. Thanking in advance for your attention and consideration, I remain Respectfully Yours.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Dear Sirs; Thank you for accepting my request and awarding me the approval that you have. I have been able, in the passed, to independently and responsibly maintain mine and my families welfare as a working person through the years. I encountered recent challenges to continue in that manner and was fortunate to be directed to apply for assistence from 'Modest Needs' who objectively 'narrowed down' the pertinent requirements and arrive at a reward while appreciating my pertinent information through a very 'Sound System.' Thanks for being 'there' and for the 'original idea' that was founded in the mind or minds of a chosen person or persons.
