A mama in need








Hey Mamas! (or even non mamas who care to help)

There is a mama who needs our help. This wonderful woman recently fell on some hard times, and her electricity was shut off. What sucks, is they want a HUGE chunk of change out of her. Pisser is, she has the majority of it, but they won't work with her in the least. They want the whole thing.
Alone, none of us would be able to help get her juice back on, but if we banded together, we could make a difference.
She in no way deserves this crap, she has a full time job, two kiddos, she busts her ass.
She is always willing to help anyone out, and probably has helped some of you who are reading this..
My point is, living without electricity, when you aren't set up to do so (composting toilets, for example) is really hard.
The logistics are staggering. The cost of ice alone to keep your food from growing bacteria can blow a hole straight thru your food budget. Having lived without electricity for a good chunk of time, I can tell you it isn't pretty.
Hello, running water????

Anyway, please help a mama out, if you can.
You can send green energy via the donate button.
And if you are unable to do that, send tons of good vibes her way.

XO!

Done. Been there, done that, and people came through for ME. So now that I can (even though it's not much) I *always* try to pass on the favor.

I hope this gets taken care of for her!

I wish I had access to a bank account with money in it right now. I'd send a little bit.

I'll have to settle for vibes. Vibing her way!

What an abominable situation! They won't work with her? That is beyond ridiculous. Ok 'nuff ranting from me, but that's fucked up. I made a small donation and wishing your friend well.

Much love to the Mama... I know when it happened to me, I was horrified and I don't have kids. I can't even imagine the fear and frustration. My heart goes out to you.

p.s. The good news is that you can dance around nekid to the tune of Lean on Me (one of my favorite songs) when you get those lights back on!

Sending her powerful Minnesota vibes right now. I don't know her identity, but if she was at the MG then I know I would love her and so do many many people from round these parts.
If I get paid on Fri will come back, ok? Am waiting on a check myself.
*love love love*

God, I wish I could have sent more. :(
I have this dream, where I win the lottery, but don't make a big deal about it, and send a bunch of kids to college, and buy people houses. Solar-powered houses.

I'm late on the draw here, as I only just read this!
I'm just glad I can help a wee bit, it seems like there are
a lot of mums on this forum who could do with help. I've been
in this situation in the past, but I've never had the company
not take a partial payment if you can set up some sort of
agreement.

Bless your heart for doing this for your friend,
you're an angel. x

I hope things turn around for her soon.

I've been too close to that edge a few times. Life is easier now, so my family sent some help via PayPal tonight. I hope it helps.
