An elderly lady's power pole, which supplied power to her home, had broken. She was on a very small fixed income and had no way to pay for the related costs to replace the pole.
This woman was using an extension cord running to the neighbor's home to supply her power. This meant that the neighbor was paying for her neighbor's power.
The neighbor lady was supportive and even creative in ways to help the woman purchase the pole. She contacted the Kingman River Cities United Way office to determine if there were any possibilities of funding to replace the pole.
As there were no programs or service providers that could assist with this unusual request, a number of phone calls were made and referrals followed. The project was a lot more complicated than just "purchasing a power pole."
We feel blessed and very happy to report that there are amazing people that live within our River Cities United Way Regional area and with team work and the desire of good people that care about doing the right thing; this lady is now receiving her own power with a new pole.
River City United Way wishes to offer a big "THANK YOU" to the following:
Dan Campbell for coordinating this project and Campbell Electric of Lake Havasu for coordinating all permits and installation of electrical service.
Pro Build of Lake Havasu for donating the power pole.
Cornco Excavating of Lake Havasu for the use of their mini excavator.
