Nov. 14th, 2019

On November 14, 2019 at around 1044 hours, a female called dispatch requesting assistance. She advised that she had 2 children, ages 4 & 6. Sarah’s husband, Rodrigo, recently was laid off from work and they had enough money to pay for rent, but their electric was about ready to be shut off. She was concerned about losing power due to her small children and with the temperatures dropping; she feared the home would get too cold. She had applied to three different jobs just this week, along with her husband, to try to secure a job that can pay their bills. She had tried several other organizations who told her they did not have enough funding to help pay her power bill. I advised her the Community Care Fund would help her out. Sarah was so grateful and told me thank you many times.
