Biography

Well i am Sharon and my husband name is Dave. We both have alot of health problems. My husband has emphysema and is on oxygen with high anixiety disorder. I have very serious back problems and just went under surgury on aug. 11th this year to remove a broken bone from when i had fallen down on ice in feb.2009. But i also have disc protution and nerve pain from this. I had already had 2 hernitated disk and dengerative disease and osteoarithis in my back along with muscle spams. So i take alot of meds to help me get thru my days.
We are on very limited budget my husband dave only gets ssi which is only $697 a month i do get some income per month close to $200 a month. I am awaiting on my approval for my own ssi. otherwise i would not be asking for help for our gas bill. We have been without gas since this early spring. Meaning no hot water for dishes , tubs, no gas dryer, no kitchen stove and the other winter stove that is heat for our whole place.
i did talk to my case worker about the situation, and the gas company. my worker said it no problem getting the gas on. The other problem is gas company wants the money even if it half of it then rest as payment.So while i had the gas company on phone i had ask them about their private funding source to help me.Well they said i don't qualify for it cause i am not legal disabled yet and i am not 60 yrs of age or older to get the help from them. i have tried many organizaitons they all say we don't qualifty for the help. It would be nice to be able to take a hot bath instead of cold water then boiling it on hot plate. We need $500 up to $1,000 to keep our gas on so gas company won't turn us off again like they did.My total bill is over $2,200 range just only asking for help the amount. if you have any questions please let me know and ty. much It would greatly be deep appreciated for the help for this. So we do stay warm during the winter. Ty for your time and reading this wish. Ty again Dave and Sharon

Loss of Utilities

Description: We live on my husband ssi. I am tryin to get my ssi due to severe back problems and just had back surgury in August. Anyways if there was a way that maybe part or half of gas bill could be lifted off of the bill we could get our gas back on. It just so hard to pay the gas bill when it gets so high. This winter the hot water tank was running all the time and our landlord didn't take care of it right away so were ended up with a huge bill and unable to pay for it.

Hi, I clicked on your profile from the forums. I used to have 4
pomeranians. I love that breed! Years ago, my female had problems
giving birth and I took her to the vet for a c-section. I couldn't
pay, so I let the vet have all the puppies. The doctor said the male
was too big to breed with her because she was a tiny toy pom. Anyhow,
I'm sorry to hear about your medical problems. I will keep you in my
prayers. -Chrissy-

Welcome Sharon and Dave! I wish you the best of luck getting your gas turned on. I have lived without a hot water heater and house heat so I sure do understand the situation and wish you the best.
