THANKS TO FP&L the company with NO heart
I thought there would be someone, somewhere who may care! My luck, my life has been so unbelievably down the tubes that I cannot even believe it. I am disabled, my daughter is disabled (autism & bi-polar), those are only 4 of many issues he has. She is now 16, going on 12. I love her so much, the more I need some help they (government) take it away.
We are on food stamps they were cut in half 6 months ago, needless to say we go hungry for at least 2 weeks? Why did they do that--I don't know I have my suspicions, medical issues, lets not go their either. She only has sight in 1 eye. She has such a generous heart, all the while mine is hardening. No Christmas 2 years-about to be 3, Birthday's are celebrated, barely. It is hard to explain why he can't have Christmas when FP&L is going to turn off our electricity--again. Why can't they understand? They have the most arrogant, mean spirited, hateful people who work there, their response is always " I'm sorry mama but I don't make these decisions, I can't do anything to help you." Oh please, why did they put a $350.00 deposit on my bill? Well they say that is the average for my apartment and they can't change that? I've been here 6 months and have never had a bill that high to have such a high deposit. I have to say though, it was my fault, when I was looking for a new place to move the Apt Guide said 'includes all utilities, cable, water & Internet'. Well I thought it was fair, all that being paid. BUT, because I'm on disability I thought that would take care of every thing, well they had me put an extra Months rent as deposit (most pay $300).
It was 2 months into my lease, they said I forgot to pay the electric? Seems as though they forgot to tell me the policy changed. So I was already 3 months behind PLUS the deposit that FP&L wanted, what a mess. So once again, we are due to shut off on Tuesday morning. I can't decide what to do anymore, sleep in the dark, eat or pay FP&L. Now that's a hard one. I had to beg my mother for $60 last week when they shut it off, I paid the $62.15 they wanted and the next day a voice message said I was being shut off on Tuesday March 3rd unless I pay $315 plus $110.
Now lets be realistic, I'm on disability if I could go to work I would, I don't want to live like this, I worked for a Fortune 300 company (AT&T) for 10 years, nope no benefits I was laid off just before I was eligible for pension & medical benefits--what luck. With all that being said, I am so exhausted, tired of everyone wanting something from me. I swear I don't see anyone STRUGGLE as much as us. I just don't know what to do next--already tried LIHEAP, but they won't pay because I cannot locate our birth certificates
) yes, it was Friday 3pm no way I could get home to look for them, they keep forgetting I'm disabled too, broke no gas in my car & what food I did have was all spoiled. Eleven days to go until I get my check for more food. How am I going to feed my son? Thanksgiving was not like theirs I'm sure. Well, even if nobody reads this, I got it off my chest, I don't feel any better because no one cares, no one can or is willing to help, I've hit the end of the road. No where to go, and even if I did no way to get there. I didn't mean to write a book here, that is only 1 little part of my sad story, but no one will read this, so I will just be wasting more space. Thanks for the opportunity to let me vent. HO HO HO! I hope everyone has a merry Christmas. We will, in Spirit.
