Re: Who is really getting help here?

I am John and I am writing this for my daughter Shawn. Shawn has 4 children from 14 months to age 7. She is married but her husband left her in a rental home, and 0 income. He is now in state prison for 2 years. In February I had all 5 of them live with my wife and me, and we are trying to find out how to get help here. In September I was able to buy a mobile home in the same community as I live. Her home is paid for.
I pay the $321 monthly lot rent as well as her electric that had gone unpaid for some time. I was stuck paying 440.00 last week to prevent a disconnection. I worked at Trumbull Correctional Institution but was forced into disability retirement do to my COPD. My pension check is only 1675.00 a month. My wife is also disabled due to a massive stroke. Her SS disability check is only 900.00 per month. I have done everything I could to help her, but my resources are not enough to have the gas turned on for heat. All of my firearms have been pawned, as well as my wife's wedding ring set. I even sold my blood to help.
The extended weather shows a major change of weather by the end of the week and the next week. Night time temps will be in the 30's. and I am breaking already for the month. I'm beside myself with worries. It's near 7:30 am, and I've not slept. The only upside is that she does get the food card from the welfare office. I hate that I can't take care of my daughter and my beautiful grandchildren. I have been on line for over 6 hours, searching for help. She will be getting on PIPP when it starts sometime in November. But that doesn't Help her right now! I need the gas turned on very soon.
I am asking you to please help her to have the gas turned on before the coming cold weather.
