My dad will be off work due to having two major surgeries.
1) Esophagus
Lesions on Esophagus, Esophagus Hernia
Scope and Biopsy as well as surgery.
2) Tumor inside stomach wall lining
Surgery and biopsy. Surgery needed due to the fact
that the Tumor has grown since last scope.
There will be 8 to 12 weeks of down time with both surgeries being done so close together. Not sure of exact dates of surgeries yet until my dad has his consultation. He will know more exact dates after doctor consultation.
My dad is very worried about coming up with the money to pay our water and light bill. He is concerned about the hot weather and our family living without any air conditioning. My parents both have high blood pressure, and absolutely cannot be in the heat. My brother and I both suffer from asthma, and the heat may also cause me to have a Costochondritis flare, which I am prone to.
With my dad's upcoming surgeries, he will be in and out of the hospital, and he will need an air conditioned home to come back to and recover in. Our water bill also needs to be paid.
Our family is very low income. We are also on Section 8. We're trying to figure out how to pay these bills until my dad recovers from his procedures and goes back to work.
Our light bill is currently $222.00. If we pay it after the 15th, a late charge is added, and it becomes $229.74. Our water bill is currently $151.45. If we pay it after the 18th, a late charge is added, and it becomes $166.60.

I can provide our utilities bills via e-mail.
We came out of a very bad living situation. We had lived in a motel for 10 years, believe it or not. The owner was throwing us out for being behind on our rent. My grandmother had also passed away, so coming up with the money for her cremation on top of moving expenses pretty much broke us. We are very low income, and none of us have much money.
I am just trying to get this utility money together quickly before the due dates. Our light bill is due the 15th, which is tomorrow. My dad thinks he can defer the bill, but I don't know for how long. Our water bill is due on the 19th. He cannot defer that one.
I have been trying since the end of February to get these bills paid. These bills have caused my parents a great deal of stress, and that is the last thing they need, especially with my dad's health issues. Another problem I just thought of, if our lights are cut off, we will lose all our food. We only get food stamps once a month, so we would have to wait weeks before we could buy anymore food.
My dad also returned home from his doctor's appointment about an hour ago. Thankfully, his insurance provides transportation to and from his doctor. The doctor is still very concerned about his tumors that have grown. He said my dad would need to stay in the hospital about three days when he goes in for the first surgery. He has had a whole lot on his mind, and I am just trying to get someone to pay our utilities for the month, so he is not stressing out so much. My mom has been very worried about him, and the utilities as well. They both have high blood pressure, and are on medication for it. My dad is also a Vietnam Vet.

Additionally, we have been without a car since March of 2023. We have to rely on Lyft. We don't go out much. as the Lyft rides add up quickly. So, we could also use $5,000.00 for a car. With a car, my dad could resume his work, and we would no longer have to rely on Lyft.
We wanted to have enough money held back to cover three months rent and utilities; as previously stated, my dad will be out of commission for a while. We also needed money for when we move again in the fall.
We would certainly appreciate any help that we can get. Thanks for reading!
