When she was able to finally call the power company and get ahold of my they told her if she cant pay her bill she can just freeze to death! Considering how the old man froze to death in Michigan I am afraid of the same thing happening to my mother! I need advice on what to do. I don't have the money to pay all her electric bills and she is not fit to go walking / driving around to try and find help due to her condition. This is in Hobart Indiana and her power company is Nipsco. Any help is greatly appreciated. I live several states away and would take nearly a week to get to her and would cost more money then I have. Her electric bill is 1900, which I don't have. I don't have the funds to get to her nor pay her bill. I can barely provide for my family as is.... Read More »
