The Johnson family was like any other, navigating the ups and downs of life with resilience and hope. Dad worked full-time, Mom had a stable job, and their six-year-old daughter was thriving in school. However, their world was turned upside down when Mom’s company downsized, and she was laid off after five years of dedicated service.
With only one income, the Johnsons began to rely heavily on their credit cards to cover their bills. Despite their best efforts, the mounting debt became overwhelming. They could only afford to make small payments on their BGE bill, and soon their utility balance exceeded $2,000. The situation reached a critical point when they received a turn-off notice from BGE.
Just as things seemed darkest, a family member told them about the Fuel Fund and the possibility of receiving a financial grant. Desperate for help but determined to do their part, the Johnsons applied for assistance. The application process was straightforward, and soon they were awarded a grant that provided the relief they needed.
With the support from the Fuel Fund, the Johnsons were able to keep their utilities on and focus on getting back on their feet. Mom secured a new job, and both parents worked tirelessly to clear their debts. Their daughter continued to excel in school, and the family felt a renewed sense of hope and stability.
