Mary sat in the dark, trying to decide.
Pay the electric bill or buy groceries. She couldn't afford both.
She was living on a fixed income of just Social Security—one of those impossible situations where every dollar is already spoken for before it arrives. And now the electric bill sat there, demanding payment.
So she sat there in her kitchen, in the dark, trying to decide…electric bill or groceries?
That's when she called us.
Within a half-hour phone call, our team assessed that she qualified for emergency utility assistance and the Medicare Savings Program—which would save her $150 every month on healthcare costs. Before Mary hung up the phone, she was referred to NeedLink Nashville and Tennessee Justice Center through the RESET network.
The lights stayed on. The refrigerator stayed full. And Mary didn't have to choose.
Your gift this year made that possible.
