Dear Johnny,
My name is Melanie and I am writing because we are desperate for help this holiday.
The company my husband, Scott, was working for went bankrupt in November and they had to let all of their employees go. We didn’t have any warning this was going to happen and we have 3 children. A son age 13, a daughter age 11, and a son age 6.
It’s a rough time of the year and we are really struggling to pay bills. My husband is a computer tech and has been doing all the freelance work he can to keep us caught up.
Our furnace went out so we have shut our gas off. We live in a mobile home community and it has been really cold in the house and with winter here it’s only going to get colder. We are relying on jackets, blankets and space heaters to keep us warm which is making our electric bill very expensive and I’m worried it will end up shut off as well. I just feel like crying and I don’t know what to do. We are truly at a loss and could sincerely some help. My husband starts a new job at the first of the year and I just want to give my kids a warm home for Christmas. Thank you for time and consideration.
Happy Holidays.
Melanie
