Client D.—approximately 61 years of age—disabled—had spent her retirement money to pay off her mother’s medical bills, after her mother’s death. D had requested assistance to obtain a refrigerator.

Through our normal methods, we found a very nice used refrigerator. Unfortunately, it did not fit beneath the kitchen cabinet. However, she wished to keep the refrigerator. We then enlisted the aid of one of our parishioners, a cabinet maker, who took the cabinet down, reworked it, and put it back in place so that the refrigerator would fit nicely underneath.

While we were in the home, we noticed how terrible hot it was. After speaking with D, we discovered that her central air was not functioning and was too outdated to be worth repairing. Not being able to afford a new air conditioning unit, we did the next best thing. We ordered a window unit for her bedroom.

We would have placed it somewhere else in the house, but she only had one double-hung wind. Because the window was uneven, two men constructed a balance on the window sill and installed the air conditioner.

At least D could sleep comfortably.

Christ just knocked at our door!
