My name is Gaelen, and I’m in an urgent situation right now.

My power, and hot water and heat have been shut off in my home and I need help restoring them immediately. The total required to turn everything back on is $562.

i have included a bill picture for the last one I got, but called utilities and they said after fees and late payment updates it’s $562

i was on A.B.D while awaiting SSI as this bill was racking up, I was only making $450/month and was running from abuse at home which didn’t allow me any finances to pay it.

Hopesource says they don’t have LiHeap funding, Mercer creek church had no funding, and I am waiting on a call from 2 other organizations that don’t know if they can help either

This isn’t a long-term fundraiser — this is a time-sensitive emergency to get basic living conditions restored.

i have medical and mental health needs at home that require power and hot water as well.

Here’s exactly where the money will go:

• Utility reconnection + past due balance: $562

• Any extra funds (if raised) will go toward keeping services on and preventing shutoff again

I’m actively working to stabilize my situation, and get the abuse that was happening stopped too but courts take a long time for things to finalize to keep me safe apparently, but right now I need immediate help to get through this moment safely and get my basic needs turned back on!m

I have included in the picture, my utilities account number and bill ID if someone wants to help by giving the funding to the utility dept directly instead of go fund me!

If you can donate — even a small amount helps move this closer to being resolved.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page could make the difference.

Thank you for helping me get back to basic stability.
