Help for handicapped neighbor

My across the street neighbor is an elderly woman named Lynn. She is wheelchair bound. She recently took a tumble and broke her collar bone. Right now she is in a rehabilitation center but will be getting out at the end of the month.

 Lynn has been living in her home for the past 5 years with no power.  Think about it being stuck in a wheelchair and not having power. She has been using head lamps to get by.

 I know you are wondering why one of the agencies didn’t step up and help.  She has COPD and some other ailments, her prescription bill every month is around $1500. So she had to choose one month either to get her meds or pay the power. She chose her meds. When she lost her power she was told that she made $8 a month to much to receive assistance. Another agencies solution was to condemn her house take her pets and put her in a home. She turned 70 this month and her mind is still sharp as a tack, so that was not a solution that she was agreeable to.  

 I am trying to get her power restored by the time she gets home. Due to the power being off for so long the city of Burien is requiring that I have an inspection done first.

The house has not been worked in about 30 years I have been told so there is a lot of things that need to been done. I’m trying to get as much done as possible before she gets home. I have put new flooring in the bathroom and things like that. But power needs to be restored first. A lot of things can’t be done until I get the power on.

I am starting this fund on the suggestion of some of the neighbors to help raise some money for the repairs.
