I am a 71-year-old, 31 year Army vet. Living on E-7 retirement and Social Security. My water heater is on its last legs according to a master plumber I met at Lowe’s. And I am paying for the mortgage.
To add to my woe – I found out in June that I have lymphoma. One of the symptoms is fatigue. I went from 235 lbs. in April 2023 to 170 presently, not dieting! I normally do a lot of the handyman work around myself. But due to the lymphoma, I’m too weak or tired most of the time!
I contacted Lowe’s home improvement and got an estimate for replacing the water heater – $1,588.00.
Is there any way I could get some funds to replace the water heater before it rusts out?
