Being an ultra-low-fixed-income individual, I was referred to a wonderful organization for some help. What's going on is my town will have the electric rate increased by at least 70% as of April 1 - see these stories for verification:

To help offset the difficulty of this increase, I am having the electric water heater replaced with one that uses gas. I already replaced the stove last year, and all the lights have been switched over to compact flourescents.
The last remaining energy hog in my home is the refrigerator. It's a 1989 model that uses more than twice as much power as a new fridge the same size. It's in its death throes anyway.
So this organization I mentioned, quite a unique charitable group where the poor help the poor, has accepted my request for help, and my grant application is waiting to be "voted up".
I'm asking folks here to help get my app. moving. All you need to do is visit the website (http://www.modestneeds.org/features/ledger/) and find Request #75319 (right now it is on the first page of listings because it is new), click the button on the right side where it says "Learn More or Invest Points (http://www.modestneeds.org/features/ledger/viewapp.asp?mode=upd&rp=l&id=75319&pageno=1&monthno=30&yearno=0)".
You get 'Points' by donating to the organization. The minimum is only $5, and a few small donations is all it will take to start it progressing. The good news is that a major donor provides matching funds, so every 5 points becomes 10!
This is a four-star charity as rated by Charity Navigator (http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=10708). I can attest to their efficacy. The entire process is done online and quickly. If I can attract a few donors, I could have a new fridge before the rate increase takes effect.
From one Ron Paul supporter to another, I am being crushed by the inflation, and I am alone in this world. Thanks in advance for all consideration.
