Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeI cannot thank you enough for helping me by funding my Modest Needs application. This means that I won't have to choose between food or medicine or having electricity. I feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted from my shoulders! You all have added a bright ray of sunshine in my life and I can now begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this gift and for being the wonderful people you are. I wish you all the best and, again, thank you all. Most gratefully, Amy C.



Help Keep My Electricity On After Car Repairs

My Story:

I am a single adult living in Doylestown, PA. I work full-time as a Utilization Reviewer at an outpatient substance abuse rehab. I love my job because I get to help people receive funding for the care that they need. I enjoy spending time with my friends, movies, knitting, riding horses and reading.

I earn enough to pay for my basic expenses but recently I had to pay for new brakes and rotors so that my car would pass inspection. I need my car to get to and from work and I haven't been able to get caught up enough to be able to make my regular monthly electric bill payment. No one in my family can help me financially; my parents are also on hard times, I have no siblings and no other family who can help. I need Modest Needs help with my electric bill. I have a shut-off notice unless I pay 40% of what I owe instantly. Unfortunately, I can't do this and I need your help.

This funding will lift the stress that I've been feeling this past month to the point that I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. Every time I get paid I feel like the money is instantly gone because I am getting caught up on other expenses as well. It will bring my electric account current and will get the payments back to their usual, lower amount. I will be able to afford the payments once they are back to normal. I really appreciate your generosity.
