Hi, My household central heat broke down at the beginning of December. We've had to use electric space heaters to keep our house warm, and they cost a lot more than the central heat does. As a result, our bill was more than double what we usually pay.

I've had one big expense come up that wasn't expected, and this is why I can't pay the unusual bill. I had to go to the E.R. on December 1st to make sure my unborn child was okay, and had to stay overnight. That alone set us back. It'll help us out a lot if you can help us because I need some money to keep my prenatal appointments and continue working for as long as I can so we can get the heat working. I appreciate anything that is given to us. Thank you!
