Story
The family this request pertains to is doing the best they can. The adults are grandparents who are struggling to take care of the household after taking in one of their grandchildren. The child's parent is not a in position to be a parent so the grandparents stepped up. Since caring for her, they have tried to give her every opportunity possible to have normalcy. The child is a 5th grader who is working through a lot of her own personal struggles, but will say that moving in with her grandparents makes her feel safer and like she will be ok. The grandmother reached out to request help with an electric bill that has gotten away from her and she has received a disconnect notice for Monday 4/14 at 5:00. The family has reached out to a local counseling agency for help with financial planning so that they do not find themselves in this situation again. The family has also provided a copy of the bill which can be shared. Any amount will help! Not having power in your home is inconvenient at the best of times, but for a family who is already working hard to make ends meet, it can make things that much darker.
