Application Details

No Emergency Fund, No $ for Utility | Cost to fully fund this application: 514.00 Modest Needs Points

Thank you for considering my request for assistance with the payment of my utility bill. Not being able to pay the full amount because of an unforeseen medical need has really made me think about the importance of having money saved for emergencies.

Having this bill paid will help me get back on track. Now that the summer months are over and all my children are in elementary school, I plan to set aside the money I was previously paying for summer and after school care in a fund to be used for emergency purposes. This will ensure that I always have extra funds available to use as the need arises and will not interfere with my normal monthly budget needs!
