HI all-
I don' tknow who to write to or call so I thought I'd start here. Due to my meds and my severe weight gain I have a big problem keeping cool in the summer. My apartment complex does not allow air conditioning window units to be installed and it's getting to the point where I scared for my health.
My only option is a portable air conditioner unit which runs $300 but I cannot affor it and my parents are unwilling to help - even tho they know I'm at a severe risk for overheating and hypertension.
I don't know of any assitance programs that would help me pay for something like this - but I am desparate. I am considering spending all the money I have left on food for the month on buying one of these portable A/C units. I cannot bear the heat.
It's not a matter of just being comfortable - there's a huge health risk involved as I live on the 3rd floor where it is very hot. I also have severe asthma.
My apartment managers still say no and I am at a loss. Maybe I should sell my medication on the street for money? I know that;s stupid an illegal but like I said I desparate.
What can I do? I feel liek I'm asking for handouts - but.......???
Does anyone have any advice????? Please
Jerry
