.My name is Leslie Canales and I’m here to beg for help. Yesterday my electricity got shut off and my remaining family can’t help me right now due to expenses of my aunt’s recent funeral. I need a minimum of $339 for the reconnect fee, ASAP. All the food in my refrigerator will spoil otherwise. Honestly, I owe ConEd a total of $2,053.59 but I can’t get help to pay for it even though I was getting Cash Assistance from HRA.
Why? Simple, the bill and apartment lease is in my mother’s name and she passed away 3 years ago. HRA won’t help me pay it until it’s in my name. It can’t be put in my name until the lease is in my name. The lease can’t be put in my name until I have an income or I pay about $15,000 in back rent, at least. I’m about to be evicted and I am a disabled woman with a combination of illnesses that make work impossible for me.
My list of illnesses includes, but is not limited to, diabetes type 2, fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic migraines, severe social and regular anxiety, depression, insomnia and I had to have surgery after a bad ankle fracture and still need a rollator to walk many years after.
In total I would probably need about $30,000 to get out of debt and comfortable due to other miscellaneous debt and expenses. But honestly, I’d be humbled with just getting help to get my electricity back on. Thank you for at least considering it.
