Our longtime friend Alexandra Lynch has found herself overwhelmed with worry. The bills have been getting incrementally farther behind and her family is now having to choose between utilities and urgent medical needs.
Three adults and three pooties are turning to the DK community as a final resort before losing their power or insurance. Any little bit will help.

I can't pay my utilities this month, or my gas bill, and I'd really rather not have things shut off. We had to pay his prescription insurance before they cut him off, and with us having $200 less a month we're just constantly having to play bill roulette; who won't sue and who won't disconnect us if we don't pay them this time round. $650 will keep us from shutoffs; more than that will pay my insurance and a couple of other medical bills that are clearing their throats and muttering darkly about collections.
Thanks in advance. I hate asking, but this is really my only hope.
What they need to get safely through this is about $700 and then a little more. This will catch everything up and allow them to exhale and focus on the future.
She did diary her need a while back, but diaries don’t stay visible for very long these days, and that’s why we need your recs, republishes and comments! Alexandra’s post

Asking for help is hard to do, and none of us can know the future. A surprise loss of income or an emergency expense can send the most careful plan into a tailspin. We get by with a little help from our friends. Please help Alexandra and her family.
You may have seen this yesterday… I still don’t know how to delete or unpublish a diary. but I didn’t give up trying...
