Hello. I live alone and share custody of one child. My town's property tax has recently risen, as well as electricity costs. Through an unforeseen circumstance, my son's mother collected and cashed three child support checks at one time, effectively cleaning out my checking account. That money was to go to mortgages, utilities, and other necessary expenses.

I am a type 1 diabetic and have been on an insulin pump for many years. As a result of my trying to catch up on bills, I haven't been able to pay for my insulin pump supplies and my account has been put on hold. I will need to make my balance current in order to continue getting these necessary supplies. I thank you for your consideration.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Thank you so much for your helping me get my medical supplies. Your help is, quite literally, a lifesaver. I consider it a blessing that folks like you are among us. I've be reading my Dante, and in the 'Paradiso' he tells us of the three theological virtues: 'Faith' being knowledge beyond wisdom, 'Hope' is the motive of fortitude, but above all is 'Charity', the love that transcends all. Everyone at one time or another is either in need of, or in a position to provide, charity. I thank you for your great generosity and giving of yourselves. I only hope that in time I will be able to pass along this service you've done for me.
