Ms. Cartagena recently missed the deadline to complete and submit her energy assistance application. Without support from the Energy Assistance Program, Ms. Cartagena is unable to meet her monthly utility expenses and is at risk of having her electricity disconnected. As temperatures continue to rise, so does the concern for her health and safety. Ms. Cartagena relies on electricity to properly store her insulin in the refrigerator and to power her nebulizer for her evening breathing treatments. A loss of electricity would create a serious health risk and could negatively impact her ability to manage her medical conditions. Ms. Cartagena is seeking assistance to prevent utility disconnection and maintain access to these essential, life-sustaining resources.

    A Supporter (that’s you!) connects with a story of hopeful progress out of crisis and chooses to support a local neighbor by purchasing their urgent need.

    The money from that purchase goes into a dedicated Stripe© Giving Wall account held by the partner organization whose client had the need met.

  3. 3

    Our partner organization’s Giving Wall lead speedily purchases the need and gives it directly to their client, or pays the bill directly.
