This person has left the following thank you note:
Good morning! I can't begin to tell you how relieved my wife and I were when we got an e-mail saying that our request for help had been met by amazingly generous people around the world who have never even met us!!! The stress this takes off of our family is immense. As I start my new job and we begin to position our family better financially for the future, we can step forward without this huge cloud hanging over us!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! While I don't want to ramble, I just can't say enough about your generosity. I hope all of you know that you have made a very real impact on the lives of six people who needed help with some of our basic needs. You are an inspiration to me and my family and I can ensure you that not only has your generosity helped us during this time, but it motivates us to pass this generosity to others as we find ourselves in a better financial situation down the road. Thank you and bless you!!!
Our Van Broke Down & I'm Between Jobs. We Need Help Keeping Our Heat / Water on in the Meantime!
My Story:
I am a married father of six amazing children. The oldest two are living with their own families including our three grandchildren. Our 18-year-old daughter is a senior in high school who loves art and video games, and our 16-year-old daughter also loves art, but she also loves to bake and cook. My 9-year-old daughter is very energetic, and she loves playing with the family dogs and anything that utilizes her amazing imagination. Our youngest son is 5 years old, and he is full of energy and loves to play with cars and dinosaurs. He is severely Autistic and non-verbal but has been making progress thanks to therapy. I work full-time and am currently in the process of switching from working for a non-profit agency providing educational services to beginning employment at a local university assisting students with disabilities. My wife stays at home full-time due to the extensive needs of our children.
We typically live paycheck to paycheck, but we make it work. Recently, we had to spend a significant amount of money making repairs to our van, and there are still a number of repairs that need to be completed, but it is at least running again. However, now our quarterly utility bills are due and because we paid for the repairs to our van, we can't afford those bills. We're facing an imminent shut-off unless we get help with these bills, so I'm very humbly seeking assistance with our water and electric bills for this quarter.
I'm just about to begin my new job, and that should put us in a better position financially; however, until then we need help if we're going to keep our power and water on. This would be a huge weight off of our shoulder's, but more importantly, it would keep us from losing our hot water and heating during the middle of winter. I'm primarily concerned with the safety of my family should our utilities be shut-off, but this assistance would alleviate those fears until I can begin my new job. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank everyone who lends us a hand with these two bills for your kindness and generosity. We will never forget this.
