so we fell behind on our electricity and as we struggled to just kinda make end's meet elsewhere the bill piled up over the last several months. our fridge/freezer is out, and we get almost all of our food from a church pantry and SNAP
we stopped opening our mail and missed a shutoff notice, and we just had our power cut like an hour ago
the bill is $590; there's an extra $200 deposit to reconnect service, so i basically need to raise as much of $800 as i can
i applied for energy assistance with the state, but since it's so much there's a """policy department""" that'll make the decision of if and how much they'll help, and they need a dr's note from Phidget about his CPAP before they'll look at it anyway
