What you are about to do will change a struggling family’s life forever!
Times are tough for Dwayne. Because his hours were cut at work, he doesn’t earn enough to meet all his family’s expenses. Now he must choose between feeding his family, paying his rent, and keeping his electricity on.
Dwayne couldn’t bear to see his kids hungry or homeless, so he let the electric company disconnect his power.
Dealing with the heat is difficult enough, but no electricity also means they can’t use the refrigerator or stove. There’s no way to keep or cook fresh food for the kids. So, they eat canned foods, fruit bars, and peanut butter. Dwayne knows it’s not a good diet, but without electricity he’s got no other options.
