I Helped My Children Through the Pandemic. But I Just Got a Power Shut-Off Notice & Now I Need Help!
My Story:
I am an older woman who currently lives alone, but up until recently, my great grandson, granddaughter, and grandson-in-law lived with me. They were going through some rough times and were living with me, but they were still paying their fair share for electricity and gas. Losing their help, as well as being laid-off from my part-time job has put me into a dire financial situation.
So far, I have been unable to collect unemployment and I really need some assistance. Unfortunately, no one is really looking to hire me because of my age so I need to rely on some other assistance to pay my bills. Crunching the numbers for my expense budget has become an almost daily task and I am extremely stressed about it right now. Currently, I need help with my electricity bill. I very behind & just got a shutoff notice for Friday. Without help, I'm going to lose power, and things are so tight I don't think I could pay the deposit they say I'd need to pay if it's turned off.
This help would allow me to continue to live independently, which is important to someone my age. It would also significantly reduce my stress by allowing me to focus on some of my other bills and debts. I have always been a generous and kind person, so it is difficult for me to accept that I need help, but I know that I need it now in order to make it through this difficult situation. Thank you for your help and for your consideration.
