Robert is an older man with a lifelong mental disability, living alone in Queens, New York with his beloved cat. For the past ten years, he has endured harsh winters without heat, waking up with frozen fingers and toes, and even finding his cat’s water bowl frozen solid. His home has become increasingly difficult to live in, especially after a broken pipe in the bathroom made basic tasks nearly impossible. The only way to fix the pipe is to remove the entire bathtub, a repair that Robert simply cannot afford on his limited income.

Robert’s situation is made even harder by the recent loss of his younger brother, leaving him feeling distraught and isolated. Despite these challenges, he continues to care for his cat and tries to make the best of each day. The lack of heat and working plumbing is not just uncomfortable—it’s a serious risk to his health and well-being.
