My name is Connie White, and I’m reaching out for help for my family. We are a retired military family living in Colorado Springs, and we have a special needs son who requires both my spouse and me to care for him full-time. Because of this, I am the only one able to work, and it’s been a challenge to keep up with unexpected expenses.

In October, our furnace broke down after 21 years of use, leaving us without heat or A/C. With winter here, our home has become uncomfortable and even unsafe at times, especially for our son who needs extra care and stability. We’ve checked with local companies and stores, and the cost to replace the furnace and have it installed is more than we can manage right now.

A new furnace would mean so much to us—it would bring warmth and safety back to our home and help us focus on caring for our son without the added stress of a cold house. I’d like to thank anyone who is able to contribute to helping us get our new furnace. I appreciate anything given to us. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
