Stranded

A disabled man called SVDP for help when his electricity was disconnected. His service dog had recently been attacked by another animal, which led to large, unexpected veterinary bills. After taking care of his service dog, he did not have enough money to keep his lights on with his fixed income.

Due to his disability, this man uses a power wheelchair to get around and takes insulin that requires refrigeration. He was stuck in bed as a result of being unable to charge his wheelchair, until he called for help. SVDP was able to pay the amount needed to get his electricity restored.
