Please if anyone can help. I know I posted recently looking for Christmas help for my kids, but this is more important. My electric will be shut off on December 3rd. I’ve tried talking to my power company and they said there is nothing they can do. I’ve applied for help with nothing available. My family of 5 has had one bad thing happening after another starting last year when I was hit by a car and she was underinsured. I was off work for 4 months and my husband and I own our own carpentry business as the only 2 employees. We lost so much work because I could not help. We have never been able to catch up after set back after set back since. We were almost completely debt free and building our credit before that. I I’m becoming so disheartened and I’m the one who usually thinks we will make it. We have nothing to fall back on no credit cards, no family can help as they are struggling in the economy as well. I’ve never been one to beg as I’ve always felt other may have it worse, but my family needs power. We live in a uninsulated farm house that we have been trying to fix up. The electric is awful and high, because heat and cooling just escapes through the walls. We have applied for weatherization help but never get anyone to reach back out. I have always tried to follow the rules and do what’s right and i’m just looking for one break in this life. If you find it in your heart to help, I would always be thankful.
