Hi and thanks for reading this.
my name is Bonnie, I am 61 years old and I have run out of options. My electricity is scheduled to be shut off on Monday, September 23rd – just a few days from now.
There are several reasons I’m desperate to not have that happen. First, I have severe sleep apnea and use an ASV machine (similar to CPAP or BIPAP) every night when I sleep, I am diabetic and need to refrigerate my insulin, I am disabled due to mental illness and need my phone to reach out for help if needed and I have been hospitalized three times this year for an infection resulting in sepsis at one point and need to keep my phone charged in case I get sick again and need emergency services. Sepsis can be fatal if not treated right away. On top of all of that, I would lose all the food in my refrigerator and freezer and can’t afford to replace it.
It is so difficult for me to ask for help but I have no choice at this point. With a list that long and the fact that I have exhausted all other options I am forced to reach out and seek the kindness of strangers. I am a survivor of childhood emotional abuse and neglect, childhood sexual abuse, 16 years of domestic violence and a complete mental breakdown. I have fought hard to become a survivor and speak openly about it in hopes that I will be a good role model and/or a positive influence on others that may be, or know someone that may be, affected by any of those things. I believe in paying it forward when able and truly hope that someone who needs it will hear my words.
I am no stranger to struggles and I’m a strong individual but I find myself unable to find a resolution to the problem I am currently facing. If anyone out there could find it in their heart to help me raise the $2000 I need to cover my past due electricity bill I will be forever grateful.
Thanks for listening,
