This was the family we focused on with YouTube and Channel 3 News. They are high school sweet hearts, born and raised in Las Vegas. Loritha was taking care of their four children (the oldest, 14 yrs old, not in picture) while Steve was working for the County Parks. Unfortunately, Steve was diagnosed with a condition and when he received the treatment, his position was “replaced”. Without a job, they have not been able to pay for their electricity bill, and have been living without heat for over two months! Loritha cleaned houses on the side, but had to be there with her husband while he was getting treatment. Their car was also repossed, so they live off of food stamps and other government assistance. Without a car, they could not get another job. We provided them a car and Steve has been hired at two places so that he can “bring home the heat”. We are working with the debt collection agency to reduce their $2,000 bill so that we can get them some heat very soon.

Corey, I am a relative of Steve. Just wanted to let you know that this family is holding their heads up high thanks to you and your network of friends. As you know they are currently going through challenging times, however, because of you all -the ball started rolling and they are all on the road to recovery! Everyone of them all have hope that they did not have just a short time ago! WOW!!!
