I know some people have asked for help here before.....

and about 2 years ago. when I was able, I helped a DUer and I got taken for a ride....

and now I need help

I am 73 years old and disabled ... I am out of propane and I have no hot water..... what i need is $269.00 to get propane and get the hot water tank lighted again as well as the furnace. During the night a very generous lady gave me a donation,,,so I an half way to my goal of $269. If you can help this old soul, the help will be appreciated. If you can help, send me a DU mail.....I have a paypal account so any pennies can go into that account...and I would thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I also have a GoFundMe account at: http://www.gofundme.com/ygsxh4

It has been over a week since I had a shower and washed my hair. You never know how much you depend on hot water until you don’t have it.

it will probably be another week before I have hot water...it takes 2-5 business days for money to get to my account but it is heartwarming to know the money is there.

because he/she had trouble getting the GoFundMe link posted correctly. Anybody who's got a bit extra could go help him/her out as well.
