For many of us, the holiday season is a time for festive gatherings with family and friends and a time to reflect on our blessings. However, for our vulnerable low-income elderly and disabled neighbors, the onset of the winter months can bring anxiety and hardships as those on fixed incomes struggle to afford electricity bills. The stress of this situation can lead to health dangers as well as safety issues.
