Hey guys, I've got a nasty situation here and I feel desperate enough to ask for help. Our power company, Duke Energy, has charged us with a couple of large bills (284 today and 284 on the 6th-8th, the time isn't really clear) to a total of 566 that we can't even begin to wrap our heads around how to pay. We've always barely scraped by on the bill as it is with just one. They've told us that if we can't manage to pay the first bill, it'll be disconnected August 4th (i.e. tomorrow). I feel like a big butt for resorting to asking for donations, but it's looking pretty bad and I'm not sure how we can get enough. We really don't want the power disconnected right now, because we have two kids here and there isn't really anywhere else for them to go. This is Florida, so it can get dangerously hot for kids without air conditioning.
I know this might be asking for too much, but we're pretty much out of options and we'd be HUGELY thankful to anyone who can manage to put something in. Really, thanks a ton to the people who have donated already!
