Updtate on mom is trying hard

momistryinghard started this conversation

I was doing good and putting money away each week out of the child support, to pay for my drivers license. now my Land lord pulled a fast one and told me that i needed to stay with his gas company. It cost him $600.00 every time they come and take the tanks. Here in NY we have a program called heap. i was accepted for it but the company that i had to stay with does not except Heap. Now I have to come up with the fill and a 49.95 gas check as we do not have gas or hot water, I am making arrangements for us to go places to take showers and all. We cook on electric fry pans and in the microwave. My landlord found out as the electric is included in my rent , got to love neighbors whom inform. But what am I to do as I need to keep us warm until !  as i will have Definitely no money to buy Deanna gifts. which now breaks my heart but I need to pay the bills as much as I can to keep us safe and warm, through the winter months. Thanks again.

I have never heard of any company NOT accepting HEAP in NYS!
