Hope you can read this but it’s possible you hit a paywall. If so, I’ll post a graphic that clearly shows how dire it is not to have working AC. We expect to have to keep our going for another month. #Phoenix #Arizona #ACRepair #Heat

'This should be a necessity': Hundreds in Phoenix area die at home without air conditioning

In the scorching summers of the Valley, a broken air conditioner can become a death sentence.

There you go. Archive.is will do it.

@elliek Thanks! It’s a horrendous situation getting worse. The GOP intends to shut down #LIHEAP which is low income energy assistance. It’s hard to qualify but now there may be no help. The electric utilities here say all they can do is abide by ban on shutting of electricity from June 1 to October. (I think these dates are right.)

But we have a medical necessity reason to get an exception if needed, for Drew. We have to start AC April 2 and likely go to October 15. That ban means the day after the ban period, the electricity would likely shut off if those low-come people don’t have balance due in full or payment plan.

This sounds such a dire situation.
So sorry for everyone.
