Expense

Description: I am in need of help to finish off the boys bedrooms and my old jealousy windows, because of this we are extremely cold. I have five children and my heart breaks when they complain of being cold but because of everything being electric I can't afford to turn up the heat. We don't get any heating assistant nor do they have a weatherization program anymore. I guess the economy got the best of the united states. Our house is very old and we moved in here 11 months ago. We ran out of monies to finish. I'm just asking to please help keep us keep warm not for me but my children. Sometimes I cry because I wake up so cold so I know they are too. I let them sleep in as long as I can so they don't have to wait to long. The worse part is they have to stand out side to wait for the bus in the cold. I dress them at night for school so they don't have to get dressed in this cold house. I don't know what else to say but every little help ,help thank you all and god bless

My progress: I have tried all the places and family I could, to get help, but no luck at all.

This is a one time only expense assistance request for a family of 2 adults & 5 children
