Our Vietnam-era Army Reservist veteran had his focus redirected when his son was involved in a serious car accident. During this period, his finances were redirected to medical expenses, with only the remainder available for essential bills. While his son was recuperating, his furnace stopped working properly and kicked into reserve heat. With his attention elsewhere, this went unnoticed, and his utility bill soared.
Thankfully, his son’s health improved; however, his electric bill had ballooned to more than $1,200. With a shutoff notice looming, he began reaching out for help, including a call to the Hero’s Bridge Call Center.
Hero’s Bridge stepped in and made a substantial contribution toward the balance, providing a $500 payment to help ease his burden. Our Veteran was able to hire a repairman to fix his furnace, ensuring that it would not continue running on reserves.
