Story
The applicant is a single mother of three teenage sons who recently relocated to a new home in hopes of creating a stable and fresh start for her family. However, upon moving in, she encountered an immediate financial challenge: her electricity was disconnected due to an outstanding balance of $550. As a result, she and her children have had to stay temporarily with her mother, as the lack of electricity—particularly the absence of air conditioning at night—has made the home unsafe and uninhabitable, especially for teenagers.
This mother is making a sincere effort to provide a better environment for her children, where they can feel settled, safe, and supported. The current situation is not only disrupting their daily routines—such as school, sleep, and basic hygiene—but also placing additional emotional and financial strain on the family.
Reinstating electricity in the new home would allow this family to move in fully, regain stability, and focus on rebuilding their lives together. The mother is not seeking ongoing support, but rather immediate help to overcome this urgent and temporary hardship. Providing this assistance would have a lasting positive impact on the well-being and development of her teenage sons, and give this dedicated mother the chance to move forward with dignity and hope.
