Hi all,

About three weeks ago, we woke up in a chilly house. After some investigation, we discovered that our boiler, installed sometime in the 80s, had gone to rest with all the other boilers in steam-heaven. This unfortunately leaves us with a cold-ass domicile, and fixing it will more than drain our savings.

All that said, I'm taking the advice I would give to a friend, and putting my pride aside. We need some help paying for this. I'm counting my blessings that this didn't happen in the dead of winter, but it still really sucks (our electric bill is going to be devastating next month, and the cats are pissed that the radiators aren't on). We're all struggling right now, but if you have anything you can spare, we sure would appreciate it.

I'll be attaching a (mildly redacted) screenshot of the final quote. Really hoping it doesn't end up being more than that! I've set this gofundme total for all of it, though I don't nearly hope to achieve that.

Thanks again, I'm drowning in embarrassment over even asking.
