Application Details

Heat for winter-partner disabled | Cost to fully fund this application: 571.00 Modest Needs Points

My significant other and I live in a 5th wheel trailer that was given to us. My s/o is permanently disabled due to severe spine degeneration and bi-pass heart surgery. We pay $465 in space rent. The expenses to set up our new living arrangement were more than we expected.

A propane gas company brought us a tank and gas so we could cook and have hot water. We still owe them for the delivery and the tank deposit. Shortly after we moved into the trailer, the brakes went out in my vehicle and that cost about $1000 to fix so we haven't been able to pay this bill.

With winter coming, I don't want to risk not having heat, hot water or being able to cook. I appreciate your consideration of this request. Thank You!
