Support Michael Moore: Restore Power and Peace

Donation protected
Michael Moore, my elderly neighbor, is still waiting patiently for the city to help him move. Thanks to you, we have gotten a few good things done in the last year: we got Michael an ID, we got him hooked into Adult Protective Services, we got him an apartment voucher, we got him on SNAP and Medicaid, etc). However, the situation remains fairy hideous. One thing that is making us both crazy is an electric bill for $1400 that is a kind of snowballed old mess. His social worker made a mistake filing for it to be covered, and now she won’t fix it, and so he is on the hook for it. To add to this stress, he has no working refrigerator because his apartment is on two ConEd accounts, the front of the apartment that serves the fridge was another tenant’s account, and that person moved out and that account was shut off. His landlord is not responding. He’s using a cooler with ice. It’s Kafkaesque. When he calls ConEd, he gets the run around. When he called HRA, he gets the run around. This kind of bill can ruin someone. So, he has no refrigerator and a nasty bill that Con Ed won’t absolve. Insane. I wonder if we couldn’t band together again and just pay the god damn thing so he can work on more pressing issues like where he will be moving to. THANK YOU!
