Here’s a novel …
Here’s a novel idea-PAY YOUR BILL! My mom worked for an organization that used liheap to help people pay bills. They can pay up to $600 in gas & electric bills for people in danger of being shut off. So they just don’t pay their bill long enough to get it in danger of being shut off & then they can come in every 6 months & get money.
Who comes in to get the benefits-90% are people who can afford to get their nails done & hair did & drive a nice car, but can’t afford to pay their gas bill! WHAT?
