Change for a Dollar received a phone call from an apartment
manager in Summerville regarding one of their tenants. The man who rented the apartment was disabled
but worked a little to supplement his disability income. He had gotten behind on his electric bill and
was scheduled to be disconnected but planned to pay the bill when he got his
pay check. Because of the holidays,
there was a delay in getting his check and getting it cashed which prevented
him from paying the bill in time. That resulted
in the electric being shut off. He would
have the money to get the electric back on but the SCE&G offices were
closed for the holiday and he needed some assistance for the short term with
the forecast frigid temperatures. The
apartment manager asked if we could assist in some way. Since he had no electric the only option was
for a kerosene heater which was provided to supply heat until he could arrange
for the electric to be reinstated.
Kerosene heater, container and fuel - $163.67
