Andrea Gilgulin hasn't added a story.
I am setting this page up to help my Dad. He is 93 years old and his health has not been great these past few years. I am now his full-time caregiver. He had and still has many medical needs, and as everyone knows, these get expensive. So, to help us be able to pay his medical needs, shelter and food, I placed him on an elder protection plan with his electric company.
I knew the amount of money was getting large, and as I would have more funds available to me in late June, I called his electric company to make a payment plan. It was there we got the shocking news, that since the bill was so large, he had to make a payment of $1,625 within the next few days or he would be cut off.
As Dad is now very frail, he would not be able to live without power and so, I am doing my best to help get the money to pay this bill. This is a very embarrassing to have to ask for money, but it is truly an emergency situation, and I have to help Dad any way I can.
Dad has worked hard his whole life - since he was 13 yrs old and his Father passed away unexpectedly. He was a soldier during WWII and saw horrible things during that time, yet he was able to go back to civilian life and make a good living until he reached his elder years.
Anything you can give to help would be greatly appreciated, and please note, we are more than willing to pay back any donation once I have more money in a couple of months.
With sincere gratitude for any assistance,
Daughter Andrea and her father, Leon
